The Atlanta Falcons are coming off their best passing performance of the season, but Desmond Ridder still has to prove he can be the long-term answer at the quarterback position.
If Ridder doesn’t end up being the guy in Atlanta, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is a potential option. That’s what former Falcons cornerback and current Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders suggested to an Atlanta scout this week.
A video emerged of Sanders telling the scout that he’ll only return to Atlanta if the Falcons add his two sons, Shedeur and Shilo. Fans on Twitter were intrigued by the idea.
Sanders comments on bringing his boys "to the A"
“We ain’t coming back unless we bringing the Sanders boys to the A.”

Atlanta Falcons gonna have Shilo Sanders, Jeff Okudah, Clark Phillips, and AJ Terrell, Jessie Bates, and Richie Grant for the secondary.
Then the Falcons gonna Shedeur Sanders is passing the rock to Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, and Van Jefferson.… https://t.co/aXrwXSMsLn pic.twitter.com/VJAChgMcR9

People are looking at this clip so out of context. Deion has said 50 million times he doesn’t want to coach in the NFL. If he wanted to, he’d tell you. Trust me, we ALL know.
He’s talking about Atlanta drafting Shedeur & Shilo. Which drafting Shedeur might not be a bad bet, https://t.co/61M46RK54q

Sorry Prime, no team is falling for the "if you want to go the party, you gotta take your lil brother with you. (I know Shiloh is older, so save your tweets) https://t.co/tU8FNSCsqd
