After NFL quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders was not selected in the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday, many critics debated why on social media.
Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman joined the debate Friday, suggesting the reason Sanders slid was because "America continues to fear strong black men." Bowman also compared the 23-year-old quarterback to former NFL star Eli Manning, who refused to play for the San Diego Chargers after being selected with the No. 1 pick in 2004.
"The NFL doesn’t like [Shedeur]Sanders because he wears gold chains and talks like a rapper. They don’t care that he’s a leader, intelligent, tough and completed 77% of his passes with no O-line and no running game. He’s entitled but Eli Manning wasn’t entitled when he refused to be drafted by San Diego?" Bowman wrote on X.
"He’s not athletic, but that didn’t stop Joe Montana, Drew Brees or Tom Brady. America continues to fear strong black men who come from means and have a strong sense of themselves without submitting to the 'dominant' culture."
Bowman added in the video that he expects the Cleveland Browns to select Sanders with the first pick of the second round Friday night.
"It's the way Shedeur dresses. It's the way he talks, and it's his culture, in my opinion. You see him at the draft last night. He's wearing all black. He got the L chain on, and he talks like a rapper," Bowman said.

Yes, that is why there are no strong black men in the NFL… oh, wait.
I do think Shadeur can be a decent NFL quarterback, but teams just don’t want the drama that will come with him, thinking Deion will be the ultimate “helicopter parent”.
I don’t even watch sports, so leave me out of it. I don’t know this person. I must assume he’s not good enough.
And I will go out on a limb and say Shadeur will have a better NFL career than Cam Ward.

If I were Cam Ward, I would take his words as an insult.
J-Maaaaaaal setting off alarms again. The boy needs to get a life.
He is fighting to break down the race barrier keeping blacks out of pro-football.
OMG, it’s always about black. Can’t be that perhaps he isn’t a desirable player, or has other issues. Gotta be that whites fear a strong black man.
Hardly.
Maybe white liberals who are terrified of their own shadow, much less an actual black person, but no one on the right is afraid of a “strong black man”.
It’s an NFL Team.
Not an Island of Misfit Toys.
a TEAM.
What rock has Jamal been living under?????????????
“Bowman added in the video that he expects the Cleveland Browns to select Sanders with the first pick of the second round Friday night.”
Round 4 starts in 20 minutes.
This doesn't have anything to do with his NFL prospects, right? Teams don't care about how long the quarterback holds the ball or how many times he's sacked, right?
Dumbing down America.
A complete idiot blaming failures on Whitey.
Remember, kids, the first one to mention race is the racist.👍
Keep an eye on the UCLA twins (Madden and Nico) at UCLA to see if their dad screws up their career.
Yeah, and the proof is that the NFL is lily white, in comparison to the NBA. /sarcasm
This is the prejudice thinking of Barack Obama he said his grandparents were afraid of black people. Obama is the ultimate racist born and bred.
Any bets on if he goes in Round 4?
