Mel Kiper is hardly the biggest name in Shedeur Sanders’ corner.
Donald Trump himself blasted teams for passing on Sanders in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft in a Truth Social post on Friday in which the Commander-in-Chief praised his father, football great Deion Sanders, and called out the NFL owners who passed on the prospect.
“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?” he wrote. “Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”

The Browns just selected and over aged, weak armed QB (Dillon Gabriel) over Sanders- that’s going to leave a mark
It’s like a cross between a slave auction and a minstrel show.
Disagree with him on this, Saunders is a showboat.
For hockey fans out there, he may have some close parallels with Naill Yakupov, the former #1 pick of the Edmonton Oilers who will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in NHL history.
Go roll your square earth
He will be in this year’s Mr. irrelevant
He just ain’t all that good. Definitely not good enough to justify the circus that comes with him. I predicted, yesterday. He’d go 3rd round or lower
“Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”
So what Trump is saying is that because Deion was a great player, then his son should be great. Does the name Biden ring a bell?

They also passed on him in Rounds 2 and 3. Maybe he will get picked up during Rounds 4-7 on Saturday.
Shedeur is playing at the wrong position. Belichick would convert him to WR.
Hard to have sympathy for a kid who drove a Bentley as a college QB.
But Trump is RIGHT as usual.
At least half of professional sports owners are dumber than a box of rocks.
Shadeur Sanders is BETTER than Anthony Richardson just to name one.
For the record, Richardson plays for an owner who is a documented coke head.
But he is also an egomaniac buffoon.
He used to be. He’s changed since Butler.

YOU WIN POST OF THE DAY
Fun football facts. Shedeur Sanders was born in Tyler, TX. Other NFL football quarterbacks born in Tyler: Patrick Mahomes, Matt Flynn, Josh McCown, Johnny Manziel and Luke McCown. And of course, Heisman trophy winner running-back Earl “The Tyler Rose” Campbell. Josh and Luke grew up in Jacksonville, Tx. Matt Flynn grew up in Tyler and was a two-time NCAA champion at LSU and a Super Bowl champ behind Aaron Rogers at Green Bay. Johnny Manziel, Heisman trophy winner. Patrick Mahomes 3 super bowl wins and Super Bowl MVP wins. Maybe something in the water?
Shedeur ain’t that great...lots of ego, stoked by Dad and a lot of dumb mistakes.
He IS better than CO has had in the past but I think he might be trouble in the NFL...maybe a backup some where...
So is Sanders Jeff George without the arm strength?
1000%...average size, average arm...
Tomlin loathes drama.
