'Are they stupid?' Trump rages after prominent QB snubbed in NFL draft
President Donald Trump is fighting battles on multiple fronts, from foreign conflicts to self-inflicted trade wars.
But it was an NFL snub that caught the MAGA leader's attention Friday afternoon.
University of Colorado star Shedeur Sanders — son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders — was widely expected to be drafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. But reports surfaced of concerns within front offices after Sanders chose not to throw at the NFL Combine, and teams expressed wary about his’ personality.

Despite being a high-profile prospect and projected to be a top pick, Sanders slid out of the first round, with even quarterback-needy teams opting against taking a chance on the Colorado star.
That didn't sit well with Trump.
"What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s 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 'picked' IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!
