Well, yesterday wasn’t the draft day anyone was expecting for the Sanders family.
Shedeur Sanders, son of the legendary Deion “Prime Time” Sanders, was selected by the Cleveland Browns — but not in the top 10 like many predicted. Nope, Shedeur was picked way down in the fifth round yesterday, landing somewhere in the mid-100s. Ouch.
And it’s not just a pride thing — the lower draft spot means a lot less money, and more importantly, a much slimmer shot at actually making the Browns’ final roster. Based on historical data, less than 50% of players picked around Shedeur’s slot even make the team the following season. Double ouch.
But wait, there’s more tea: according to insiders close to the Sanders family, and apparently, the Browns organization reached out to Shedeur’s camp with a little warning — they want Deion to keep it cute and stay quiet about what happened on draft day.
The vibe was clear: no drama, no discussions, and definitely no public rants about the draft or the Browns’ treatment of Shedeur. The implication? If Deion starts making too much noise, it could jeopardize Shedeur’s already shaky shot at staying on the team. Messy, messy, messy.
Will Deion play it cool? Or will Prime Time be Prime Time? Either way, we’ll be watching — popcorn ready.
