Draft the circus, get the circus.
Sanders said a year ago he would not allow his son or Travis Hunter to play for certain franchises and would get involved- he wanted to pull an Eli Manning...
Since February rumor was he did not want his kid playing in Cleveland....when he started dropping he wanted anyone to select his son- it didn’t matter who.
Cleveland is the Disney of the NFL, one FUK up after another.
That post was from years ago. Not recent. Drafted players have no choice.
And this is why he went in the 5th round
This is one way to put butts in the seats and sell overpriced beer
Shilo Sanders joins Bucs after he falls completely out of NFL Draft
Eli Manning and further back, John Elway.
Arch Manning has him beat every way.
There’s two reasons he didn’t go higher in the draft...the big one is: He’s Neon Dion’s kid. No team wants the side-show.
Second, he’s just not that good. Too many negatives going for him. Too small, not mobile, too hesitant, slow.
And then, there’s the side-show.
I’m surprised if he’s in the league two years from now.
Deion Sanders may be a bit flamboyant but this man has had an outstanding, productive career. He was a great athlete in both football and baseball. His teammates in both sports have said he was a great teammate, never disruptive, and was very coachable. As a coach he has taken athletes from difficult backgrounds and helped them become successful. It is incredibly difficult to coach your own sons but he did it as well as could be expected. Of course he is disappointed that his sons were not drafted in the early rounds but their stories are by no means over.
Sanders is a decent man, a very competent coach and will have no trouble signing elite recruits and transfers. Auburn made a generational mistake when they failed to sign him. Suspect next head coaching spot for him will be Florida State if he ever wants to leave Colorodo.
IMHO, not preparing for a job interview detracts from you professing your belief. We are supposed to be respectful of others and do a worthy job.
This moron is the cause of all his son’s problems.
This is an old post, and it is probably from a time when another regime was in charge.
Sanders’ only leverage is to re-enter the draft next year, play in the USFL, or play in the CFL.
I would say the CFL is the only real alternative, but that is a different game.
He could also sue to re-enter college football. Recent history suggests he may win given NIL and the transfer portal.
That would completely break the system because a player could opt out after getting drafted. Suppose a guy knows he can make more with NIL than his 2nd round draft position. Now that team is out of a pick and player.
I think that the reason QB Sanders was avoided by the GM / Owners of the NFL is that he has never competed with another QB for the position.
Daddy was the coach at almost all levels.
Show Boat ? yes, Early draft pick? NOT SO FAST!
There are prolly others, but I can only remember one guy who said that and stuck to it. John Elway was supposed to go to Baltimore, but balked; said he’d quit football first and wound up in Denver instead. I never really liked Elway, but he DID keep his word in that case.
He said that a few years ago - stop posting bullshit
The night after the Brown’s QB had an int or a bad game, the circus will begin.
