Watson favored; parental coaching interference undermines development.

Shedeur Sanders has looked okay during recent OTAs, per reports, but Deshaun Watson is the early favorite in the Jaguars QB competition. Bob Harris expresses concern about Deion Sanders' public campaign to meet with Todd Monken as a coach (not parent), viewing it as narcissistic behavior and a sign that Deion is attempting to insert himself into his son's professional development in ways that undermine normal coaching hierarchies. Harris notes that Shedeur has never been coached by anyone other than his father Deion until last year, and argues that the sooner he can 'cut the umbilical cord from Deion' and become his own person, the better for his career trajectory. The constant media presence and parental involvement puts inadvertent pressure on Shedeur and contrasts unfavorably with how Cam Ward approaches his professional development with focus on on-field work rather than social media and public perception management.
