Shedeur Sanders might not have to leave Colorado for the pros if he wants to make a fortune playing football.

Earlier this week, Deion Sanders went viral when he told Shedeur that he wasn’t leaving for the pros after this year.

It appears that Deion’s advice to his son makes financial sense.

This year, Shedeur is reportedly making $5 million a year in NIL money at Colorado, according to ON3’s NIL valuation.

College football insider Joel Klatt believes Shedeur will make much more money in Colorado next season if he stays in school and waits another year before joining the NFL draft.

“It’s not as cut-and-dry as it used to be because of NIL. It’s not just ‘You HAVE to go.’”

“There’s an element of like Deion is going to be there next year. So is Travis Hunter, because he has to be,” Klatt explained. “He can’t transfer, he hasn’t graduated, so he can’t have that free second transfer, he’s going to be there… So in my estimation, this is the worst Colorado will be. Right now.

“…This NIL thing — we think of NIL as ‘Oh yeah, he can make a couple million bucks.’ I think Shedeur might be able to make $10 million… We have no idea what his ceiling is from an NIL perspective. When Deion says ‘Yeah, he’s gonna come back’ I kind of believe him.”
