    Shedeur Sanders' attitude and his father caused this. It's not a question of talent. It's a question of how much of a PR headache the front office wants to deal with in regards to Deion Sanders.

    Just last month Deion already came out and said there were certain teams he wouldn't allow his son to play for if he was drafted there. Shedeur declined the combine. Didn't do any team interviews. The unprofessionalism oozes out the seams.

    Everywhere Shedeur has went in his life to play Deion has followed and been right there. Do you think any NFL head coach wants to draft him only to have his dad breathing down your neck for a coaching job in a year or two? Or having his people contact your people about how your using his son in your own system?

    Some people made it a race issue. Which is laughable. There were three teams that need a future NFL quarterback. The Raiders, Jets and Steelers. All of which have black NFL coaches who are heavily involved in the draft process. They all passed on him. Not only that, but there are a variety of black NFL head coaches and owners in the league. They passed on him too. Over 100 times in fact now as the count stands.

    Teams simply don't want to deal with Shedeur's mentality which mirrors his father along with the persona of his father. If Deion Sanders wasn't so heavily involved with his son he would've gotten drafted or drafted higher. They needed to be humbled and we're watching that take place.

    What’s the difference with Sandwrs mentality and Cam Wards? How about baker mayfield? Joe burrow? Hello? You there?

    You actually think Deion Sanders would insert himself in his son’s career by acting like one of those pop Werner football dads? Those obnoxious parents? This is downright laughable you even considered this. The mannings literally dictated where Eli played. Did his dad follow his son and make sure he played. Made sure he was used right? This notion of “we had to humble them” is retarded. You didn’t have to humble any of the other prospects huh? None of them were cocky or arrogant.

    This is a bad take. NFL teams all set out to show the Sanders who boss. Can’t bully us.

    I was hoping someone like you would bring up those situations.

    The main difference between Shedeur and those players is that those players had the accomplishments and game to backup their choices, mouth, baggage or whatever else you want to call it up until the draft at the time.

    Mayfield? Heisman winner. First walk-on to do it. Holds various OK records. Went to the combine, showed a little professionalism.

    Ward? Heisman finalists. O'Brien Award winner. Set school records for passing yard and TDs at Miami. Went to combine.

    Burrow? Won a national championship and Heisman and passed for a record 60 touchdowns. Didn't need to go to combine, it would only hurt is stock if he measured low. His accomplishments speak for themselves.

    I'll throw you another one out there. Johnny Manziel. Heisman winner. Went to combine. Showed some professionalism at the time. Obviously that didn't turn out so well for him in his NFL career. I'll get back to that later.

    Shedeur? Close to nothing. He doesn't have the game or accomplishments to back up what he's doing and to have his dad be baggage. He even played with Heisman winner (Hunter) and couldn't do anything at Colorado with him.

    Maybe teams just don't want to take a chance with someone like Sanders and his baggage with his lack of accomplishments and unprofessionalism and have him turn into another Johnny Manziel?

    Yes. Deion would insert himself because he's shown that's all he does and has done. NFL head coaches and owners don't want to deal with that headache. He's worse than the Mannings and those types of parents already. Eli again, had accomplishments and game to back up the baggage of his dad. Heisman finalist, Won the Cotton Bowl.

    Jesus your takes are so bad. I got a headache reading that utter nonsense. I swear idiots make me nauseous.


    What indication has Deion sanders shown he would insert himself into whatever franchise drafted his son? Give me examples. Not ASSumptions. Not throwing shyt against the wall hoping it sticks. Run down the things that SUPPORT this narrative. He’s been nothing but a professional in his career. When and where has he ever been a distraction that you can point too. His son literally has had one of the biggest slides in NFL draft history. And Deion Sanders has said what? Has done what? If he acted like Lavar Ball? You’d have a leg to stand on. You’d have your “see I told you” moment. But you don’t. You literally have nothing. So you sit there and type out what Deion has shown in his career that would be a distraction to an NFL team who drafts his so.

    You clowns just make up stuff and run with it.


    And the best narrative is “he has to be humble. Not cocky or arrogant.” It then justify players who are cocky and arrogant. Giving them hall passes to go to the bathroom. Hahahahaa

    The best part of your nonsense “if Deion wasn’t the way he was”. What was he shythead? Because you just typed a bunch of nonsense JUSTFYING cocky and arrogance is ok if you accomplished things. Deion accomplished Hall of fame tier accolades. But you’re using it AGAINST him? Make your mind up idiot.

    I love how insecure and soft “men” are when an athlete is cocky and arrogant. Says more about you than the actual athlete.

    Nah stay on that side. He needs to be humbled. This is apart of it. If his dad wasn’t how he is this prank call doesn’t happen.

    I could see why teams would be hesitant to draft him now, wherever he ends up now he’s absolutely going to take up a lot of media attention, with his coach and teammates frequently being asked about him.

    While not the perfect example, it’s reminiscent of when the Jets traded for Tebow. He was barely getting snaps but he was constantly the medias biggest target, and I think it played a role in Mark Sanchez’s downward trajectory. While far from a good QB, his level of play slipped dramatically that year and he never recovered.

    So unless you legitimately believe this guy can be your long term starter, you really run the risk of bringing a huge distraction to your team who may not even be getting playing time.

    To me I think it's the case of do teams think his talent outweighs his distractions? After falling out of the first 102 picks that's a no.

    We'll see what happens. The next possible spot for him would be the Steelers at 123. But at this point it almost feels like he's not getting drafted at all because the people who mention Dak Prescot and similar quarterbacks that went in those later rounds don't understand that they weren't scouted as highly as Sanders.

    Oh no doubt. I laughed too. Especially when he's like...

    Sanders: What does that mean?
    Friend: How you gonna ask us what that means and you was on the phone?
