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!”

We’ve been watching.
I’ll be honest. How many teams need a QB this year? I bet not a lot.
Come on Dallas Cowboys!
Let’s start the Jerry Jones, Dion & Shedeur Circus!
Only one question selected in first round.
I don’t know why Trump weighed in on this.
Half the league needs a QB as a starter or near term future....
We are midway through the 3rd round and Sanders is still available...so is Jalen Milroe and Quinn Ewers
Its brilliant...half the media has been painting this as a race issue the past two months, despite the fact a black QB was the first pick of the draft, and that’s only going to get louder moving forward...
President Trump voicing support for Sanders, who is a very average NFL QB prospect, will make liberal heads explode...
Oops!
Two in rd 1, only one in rd 2
It’s a package deal and none of the NFL, apparently, want to draft Deion again.
He will be toxic in any club house
He will make Johnny Manziel look like Joe Montana.
Draft him? No- hire him as coach...
Teams are concerned 1) Deion will criticize, criticize, criticize when things don’t go well
2) once the HC of the team that selected Sanders is fired, everyone will scream for Deion to be the HC...
Steelers coming up soon with their second pick- that should be the spot
Didn’t happen.
Yep, too MUCH baggage with this one.
I wonder if Donald is serious or trolling.
If not, his only hope is the Raiders.
Pittsburgh taking Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson
When the owners interview you and you bomb it no wonder no one wants you..
Kaepernick 2
I asked Fred Lynn once why Deion didn’t talk smack in baseball and he said because he’d get a fastball in the ear.
Rams could also take a QB at the end of 3
Browns also need a young QB
