Re: Turning Attention to the Draft
I think we might be surprised at how common the Deion/Shedeur type of dynamic there is among NFL prospects. Deion just happens to be more visible than most coach fathers. I can't count the number of times I have heard a draft analyst, game commentator, or some other form of talking head mention a player as being "a son of a coach". It makes sense that they would be more commonly successful than athletes not having a coach as a father. They would naturally be more driven, for multiple reasons. I would imagine that many of those fathers would be far more intrusive than someone like Deion. You can also lump in son's of former players. Just look at our own Archie Manning and how he basically strong-armed the trade of Eli to the Giants during the draft.
