Coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur Sanders have been the target of criticism on social media over the past few days. After former Buffs athlete Xavier Smith told the Athletic how Deion Sanders disregarded him to the point where he had to register for the portal, the two became involved in a scandal. Smith reasoned that Coach Prime didn’t even make an effort to get to know him before asking him to go, despite the fact that coaches frequently had to make difficult decisions.
Coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur Sanders have been the target of criticism on social media over the past few days.
The revelation drew harsh criticism for Deion Sanders. But soon after, his son Shedeur saved him, saying he couldn’t even recall Xavier Smith’s identity and suggesting that he was probably “mid at best.” Despite the fact that this tweet fueled the debate, Pat McAfee and his panelists chose to discuss it on the most recent episode of their program. The host opened the show by claiming that those who already despise Coach Sanders are only enjoying the outpouring of animosity toward him.
The host did concede, though, that there is a difference between a quarterback prospect and the best cornerback in the world when it comes to criticism of one’s skills. Pat thought Shedeur had a dubious attitude and questioned whether NFL teams would be impressed by that kind of thing.
So everybody that has hated the Colorado Buffalo’s from the beginning through now saw this as another reason to bury Deion Sanders. In the Colorado Buffalo’s, a lot of people are saying like yeah Deion was a corner and one of the greatest athletes ever, so whenever he talks these sh*t, it’s a little bit different than a starting quarterback coming out and talking sh*t. But I think this is Shedeur just being exactly who we think. He just opened for Lil Wayne the other day. Now will NFL teams question this? I do wonder if they lose especially that first game to North Dakota State, boy all of this is going to get very loud!
Although McAfee continued to think that Shedeur’s remarks were disrespectful coming from a quarterback and that NFL teams would investigate, there wasn’t much reason for alarm because Deion has selected the four teams he wants his son to play for.
They don’t have to win. They didn’t win, you know [he will] still open for Lil Wayne. Yeah they didn’t win a lot of games last year but he’s going to be a top five pick… His odds did go down a little bit after the Tweet last night which was yeah cuz I think there will be some NFL people who obviously have a lot of respect for Dieon and everything he’s got going on and Shedeur’s talent but like quarterback is just a different animal yeah because you’re the face of the program, face of the organization. So him saying I don’t even remember this guy is like okay we didn’t get to know his teammates like people can hold that against him but Dieon has said I only want him going to like four teams anyways so what are we even talking about?
Three former NFL players, Darius Butler, Adam Pacman Jones, and AJ Hawk, joined Pat McAfee on the program today. The whole topic has taken on a new light thanks to the trio’s collected and original insights on the matter.
