Deion Sanders backed ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on social media after Kiper was criticized for hysterical reactions to Shedeur Sanders' draft slide.

Deion Sanders has yet to give an official statement on his son's draft slide last month. There has even been significant commentary from people like Jason and Travis Kelce, Tom Brady, and even Donald Trump.

The Shedeur Sanders slide was the story of the 2025 NFL Draft, as one of the top quarterback prospects in this class fell all the way to the fifth round. While the fall was shocking, it doesn't matter whether you're the No. 1 overall pick or "Mr. Irrelevant." It matters how you perform on the field.
