Long before Cleveland Brown chose his son Shedeur In the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday, April 26, Deion Sanders The team exploded on social media.
“I love what the Browns do this offseason, but if I were younger, I would never go to Cleveland.
((Eli ManningIn 2004, the NFL No. 1 draft pick was selected by San Diego Chargers, but refused to play for the team, who then sent him to the New York Giants.
Deion's tweet is resurrected after Shedeur's draft pick was finally announced. The Browns chose Shedill as the 144th overall pick in the fifth round of this year's draft, a clear drop in the draft, while the quarterback was selected for the first round.
Shedeur began his college career at Jackson State in 2021, with Deion serving as head coach. After the 2022 season, the two set out for Colorado. In his senior year, Shedeur completed 74.0% of the passes with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and was named the top 12 offensive player of the year.
Many were surprised that Shedeur fell to the fifth round of the draft, although part of the way Deion was the reason young quarterbacks seemed unable to love with 32 NFL teams. Some celebrate his personality and confidence that is bigger than life, while others are beaten back by the same energy.
If one thing you can certainly say about Deion is that he is a passionate supporter of his son. Back in May 2024, he told someone on X that Shedeur would be the “top five” and he has been sticking with that energy ever since.
But for young athletes, things haven't been resolved, NFL insiders told Tom Pelissero that there are several reasons. “The worst official interview I've ever attended in my life.” An anonymous person discussed Shedeur's report and allegations were discussed with members of the New York giant's leader. “He's such a duty. He took unnecessary sacks. He never played on time. His body language was terrible. He accused his teammates…but the biggest thing is that he wasn't that good.”
Shedeur responded to some criticisms raised against him on the NFL Combine in February 2025. He asked the reporter. “You know who my father is? They hate him, too.”
After the first round draft, no name for Shedeur was named, and Deion turned to religion. “My Bible says that God uses stupid things to confuse wisdom, and he chose weak things that he might humiliate the strong world!” Deion posted on Friday, April 25 via X. “Please know that God is not finished yet, and God really begins.
