Deion Sanders Accused of ‘Playing the Victim’ After Defending Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a video titled "Deion Sanders Is Just Another Entitled Helicopter Parent," Fox Sports host Doug Gottlieb took Sanders to task for the latest media narrative to swirl around this football family.

Stephen A. Smith says Deion Sanders was "devastated" to watch his son Shedeur Sanders slide into the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft.

Shedeur Sanders signed an NIL with Brady’s apparel brand while he was in college. Brady has also served as somewhat of a mentor to the younger Sanders, according to ESPN. Last month, Brady told Logan Paul on a podcast that he told Shedeur to use his draft-slide as motivation.
