White ESPN announcer Max Kellerman is suggesting NFL teams' scouts and top brass are racist when it comes to drafting a Black quarterback, despite some noting the top 4 highest-paid players are all Black quarterbacks.
Kellerman said it is on his "radar" the projected top three picks in Thursday's NFL Draft are white quarterbacks, despite a pair of Black quarterback prospects being candidates to be drafted early, too.
"I know it's on my radar," the "First Take" co-host said. "Sometimes quarterbacks rise, sometimes they fall, but what I've noticed, in recent years after decades of artificial barriers being put in place for Black quarterbacks is that vis-a-vis white quarterbacks, Black quarterbacks in the draft tend to fall pre-draft.
Despite the take, The Sporting News noted the top four highest-paid players are Black quarterbacks:
1. $45 million Patrick Mahomes Chiefs 2. $40 million Dak Prescott Cowboys 3. $39 million Deshaun Watson Texans 4. $35 million Russell Wilson Seahawks "The NFL must be the worst racist organization in the history of the world when the highest-paid people in it are all black," the Daily Caller's David Hookstead wrote.
Notably, the winningest Super Bowl quarterback in NFL history and the most recent champion, Brady, was a 6th-round pick, 199 overall in 2000.

Who cares anymore....
I’m good with this. The more woke trouble the NFL is in, the better.
I don’t care about the NFL one whit but please make it stop.
Maybe the white QB’s throw a better ball? Where’s the outrage that there’s hardly any white point guards in the NBA? Oooh, riiiiiight. GFYS
He’s trying his damnedest to create racism where there ain’t none.................
The NFL is racist! Boycott!
Didn’t think any whites played football anymore.
This is such an easy fix. Just mandate that every team must match the race of their players to the population percentages of the country. Equity!
Quarterbacking is a thinking man’s game.
Max should just do a Dolezal at this point.
When is the last time there was a white starting cornerback in the NFL? Jason Sehorn?
Attention ferals, please report to large urban areas for destruction and looting of innocent peoples businesses! Make Joe and Kamala proud!
Contrary to Rush’s 2003 comment, “The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,’” That ended up costing him his ESPN commentary gig.
And once it’s 100% black only 13% of the population will watch.....and players will be lucky to get 13% of their current wages.
Racism ruins everything.
Teams prefer good quarterbacks and will pay them handsomely no matter what color they are.
I haven’t watched the NFL in years but I’m confident the above is still the case.
Another jock sniffer whines and nobody with an IQ above 70 is listening.
Of the top 4 QB’s listed, Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes are both mulatto. This race nonsense has to be confronted and knocked down. If racism is so pervasive. why is it there is not one single white cornerback in the NFL? A country of 330 million and not a single caucasian corner is capable of being on an NFL roster? This racism bull has no basis. These are multi-billion $ teams and they are in the business of getting the players who can make them a champion. Kellerman can shut his yap on this!
