Some controversy has emerged over the latest buzz around Deion Sanders, and his son Shedeur Sanders. The spotlight has intensified with reports of a conversation between Coach Prime and Dallas Cowboys' owner, Jerry Jones, stirring up a maelstrom of opinions and speculations.

Because of this, prominent sports commentator Jason Whitlock has not held back in expressing his views on the matter. Whitlock alleges that Coach Prime is "manipulating" the situation to benefit his son, Shedeur Sanders. According to Whitlock, the conversation with Jerry Jones was aimed at discussing a potential coaching role for Deion Sanders with the Dallas Cowboys. Whitlock asserts that this move is primarily driven by Deion's desire to place Shedeur in a favorable position within the NFL.

"I don't think you have to orchestrate a move and trade up to get Shedeur Sanders," Whitlock said Tuesday on Fearless with Jason Whitlock. "You can (get) Shedeur Sanders in the second round. You can get Shedeur Sanders in the third round ... With Deion orchestrating and manipulating things behind the scenes for Shedeur, there's a lot of teams that would be like, 'Nah, I'm good on Shedeur'."
