\u201cWhat is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?\u201d Trump wrote on April 25. \u201cDeion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He\u2019s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be \u201cpicked\u201d IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders addressed Trump\u2019s social media post while meeting with reporters at rookie minicamp practice with the Browns on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was truly thankful for it,\u201d he said. \u201cIncluding him, there were a lot of fans, a lot of people in barbershops, a lot of hairstylists. A lot of fans of me, my craft and my family that were there in support. I was thankful that I have that foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanders\u2019 slide was one of the biggest stories of this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n

Projected as a potential top-three pick, Sanders wasn\u2019t taken until the fifth round of the draft<\/a> after Cleveland traded up to take him 144th overall.<\/p>\n President Donald Trump couldn\u2019t believe how far Shedeur Sanders fell in the NFL draft. AP<\/p>\n He is expected to compete for the starting job in a crowded Browns quarterback room.<\/p>\n Cleveland added Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel at 94th overall, making Sanders the fifth quarterback on the roster, which also includes Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and Deshaun Watson.<\/p>\n![\"President](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7326e82643a5955da343ad37c5f35bf7.jpeg\"\/)
