Deion Sanders\u2019 reaction to his son, Shedeur Sanders, getting snubbed in the first round of the\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0on Thursday night said it all.<\/p>\n

The former superstar cornerback and his family endured a rough night, with neither of Coach Prime\u2019s sons being drafted.<\/p>\n

While SHilo was not expected to be a first-round pick, Shedeur was projected to go pretty early, with the\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0tipped to take him at No. 9 overall after Cam Ward came off the board at No. 1, going to the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n

Shockingly enough, the Saints chose an offensive tackle, selecting Kelvin Banks Jr. out of Texas despite their deficiency at quarterback, given\u00a0Derek Carr\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

Deion was as surprised as most of us were, and\u00a0cameras caught his reaction, which you can see below:<\/p>\n
