said recently<\/a> that he wants to talk to Monken \u201cas a coach, not a dad\u201d about Shedeur Sanders as the quarterback moves into his second NFL season. On Wednesday, Monken told reporters that he\u2019s ready to have that conversation whenever it works for the Colorado head coach. <\/p>\n\u201cI can\u2019t wait,\u201d Monken said, via multiple reporters. \u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of respect for coach Sanders, obviously as a player but also what he\u2019s done as a coach. He\u2019s done a great job with Shedeur as a father. I\u2019m open to any time he wants to meet. He said he was going to come but he had a commercial. If he just tells me where the next commercial shoot is, I\u2019ll be there. I really am looking forward to it. I\u2019ve got a ton of respect for him and I\u2019ve got a ton of respect for Shedeur because all he\u2019s done since I\u2019ve been here is work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The younger Sanders closed out last season as the starter in Cleveland, but Deshaun Watson\u2019s return to active duty has led to a competition for the job in 2026. While it remains to be seen if his father\/college coach\u2019s insights will come in time to help him win that battle, it sounds like Monken will be hearing them at some point in the near future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deion Sanders is interested in meeting with Browns head coach Todd Monken to discuss ways to get the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-682689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
