Deion Sanders defended his son Shedeur against criticism for being unprepared for pre-draft meetings after Shedeur was drafted fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. The elder Sanders called the negative reports "foolish" and hurtful, asserting that they could ultimately motivate Shedeur, much like the edge Tom Brady used in his career. Brady, who has mentored Shedeur, noted via podcast that setbacks can serve as valuable motivation for athletes. This support is significant as Shedeur signed a NIL deal with Brady's brand, further solidifying their connection in football.
It did hurt, but the Bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. There was some foolish stuff that went on, but that gave them something that they needed.
I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well. I said, 'Dude, like whatever happens, that's your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft.'
Like that edge that Tom [Brady] had, it gave them the edge that you had, it gave them the edge that I have. Folks said we weren't gonna be nothing.
Shedeur signed an NIL with Brady's apparel brand while in college, and Brady has also served as somewhat of a mentor to the younger Sanders.
