5/6/2025The teams do not want to have to deal with Deion, or Trump.

4/30/2025He didn’t align with the NFL’s preferred narrative—just as Caitlin Clark may not fully align with the WNBA’s current marketing direction. The league seemed less interested in highlighting the story of a Black Hall of Famer successfully guiding his sons into professional football, including one who emerged as a standout leader and quarterback. Instead, there appeared to be a stronger emphasis on promoting a more traditional image, such as that of a white father raising the next face of the league. Likewise, in the WNBA, there seems to be a focus on elevating certain players over others, even when someone like Clark is breaking records and drawing widespread national attention. The Sanders family’s outspoken Christian values may have also contributed to their marginalization by the league. They did the same to Tim Tebow. Just call it like it is, stop looking for excuses.

4/30/2025That's wild he didn't drafted by 2 round guess it was personal

4/29/2025ESPN is racist. Teams don't want thugs.
@potooleftl
4/29/2025His father being one of the best ever and a hall of famer doesn't mean he gets to be a top pick. He is average.
@michigan1291
4/29/2025NO team coaches or owners want Dion Sanders interfering with their authority or decisions. Neither Dion or Shedeur have any respect for the coaches, owners or other team members. There may well be other valid unspoken reasons he was not drafted.
@Los-pf3bi
4/29/2025The NFL hates black people who act black. Cam ward is a sell out!
@SheilaDemons-og9ut
4/29/2025Archie Manning did it with his sons
@SheilaDemons-og9ut
4/29/2025DAN need to SHUT UP so what Shedeur deserves it and Dan wouldn't be saying that if it was his son being drag thru out the NFL

@aaronp9928
4/28/2025He just needs to prove it in his football play period in the NFL I stopped watching football sometimes I listen to these type of things but it is what it is.
@yeishabeasley243
4/28/2025Let me share some sports information knowledge with you I've been right about Nolan Jones going to Cleveland I was right about the people that Colorado picked up when everybody else was complaining and saying they did wrong even though deion Sanders is one of my favorite players in played on my favorite teams of all time I love the Florida State Seminole n especially those teams of the late 80s and early 90s all the way to 2000 when they were always in the top 5 but real talk his kid isn't as good as Charlie Ward was and Charlie Ward made the right decision by going to play in basketball Sanders is not an NFL QB on any level
@pussydestroyer87
4/28/2025Being Deion Sanders didn't stop Deion Sander from getting multiple jobs in multiple sports.<br><br>But now Deion Sanders is keeping Shedeur Sanders from getting a job?<br><br>If Shedeur Sanders wasn't Deions kid, nobody would have ever put him higher than round 4.
@johnmccann1960
4/27/2025Sanders went 144th Pick. . . . . . . Stephen A. must have exploded with that news.
@kv4presidentt
4/27/2025shadeur is literally the same person who made a bunch of good plays with a weak o-line and never complained or blamed anyone. that tells you a lot right there
@vthomas2313
4/27/2025QB Shedeur Sanders DRAFTED LOW BECAUSE OF HIS DAD. NOBODY WANTS TO DEAL WITH HIM
@posted-11minutes-ago
4/27/2025<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZwg2U7FsGQ&t=236">3:56</a> it’s not about him being too confident, it’s about him being to “comfortable” his whole life. Cam Newton said it best a few months ago, he never got challenged enough. With his Dad being who his Dad is (nothing wrong with that at all) I feel like that comfortably makes a great player, not so great in the long run. It was relatively easier for him to get where he is because of Prime, so with that, I feel like he doesn’t know the real meaning of getting it out the mud. Because he doesn’t. Wish him the best though fsfs 🙏
