Deion Sanders spoke out with a cryptic post on Monday, April 28 after his son Shedeur had a lackluster showing in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Deion was seen visibly upset.

Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said this week that he spoke with three different personnel people in the NFL that removed Sanders off their draft boards completely because the team owners made it clear they did not want him. "Shedeur Sanders just torpedoed himself," Esiason said.

A 21-year-old son of an NFL assistant coach has taken responsibility for prank-calling former University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft late last week.
