ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith was apoplectic Friday night as Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders remained on the NFL Draft board at the end of the third round.
No analysts predicted such a slide for the son of Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.
On his X account, Smith blasted the NFL with the third round drawing to a close.
“This is a damn disgrace,” he wrote. “How in the hell is @Shedeur not off the board, not drafted yet. Y’all still think this doesn’t have anything to do with teams hatin on @DeionSanders. This kid is a first rounder. In a different way, this is Kaepernick all over again… being kept out. A damn disgrace. I don’t care what anyone says!”
