Deion Sanders would love to see both of his sons play professionally for the same franchise. He didn't shy away and even advocated for them to be apart of his original NFL team while at practice on Wednesday.

Coach Prime welcomed Atlanta Falcons scout Rich Sanders (no relation) to observe drills in Boulder. They talked about a few select players, including Shilo and Shedeur Sanders. Prime encouraged Sanders to tell Well Off Media what they discussed before coming out to practice.

"We're not coming back unless we're bring the Sanders boys to the A.... Both of them," Sanders said. Coach Prime followed it up by saying, "That's what I'm saying. Hey, how do y'all feel about that?"

Sanders started his NFL career in Atlanta in 1989, and by some accounts, helped build the city into what it is today. He might be removed from his days there, but still has a deep connection to his roots from his first stop. It's only natural for a father to want his sons to follow in his footsteps, especially if it was a good experience.

For now, Shilo and Shedeur are focusing on making strides to perfecting their craft. It's sounds like any future plans for either of them going to the league will be on hold until the end of next year.
