Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones' relationship with Deion Sanders goes back decades. It began when he signed Sanders in 1995, which led to Dallas winning its third and most recent Super Bowl under Jones,

Teams linked to Sanders including the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints passed on him in the late first and early second rounds, respectively, in favor of Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough. The Tennessee Titans also selected Cam Ward with the top overall pick.

Deion Sanders had some lofty expectations for his son, Shedeur, in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys great predicted back in May that his son would be a top-5 pick. But things didn't pan out that way.
