President Donald Trump called NFL owners “stupid” for not selecting Shedeur Sanders in the first round of the draft — and that was before the Colorado quarterback went undrafted in the second and third rounds, too.
In a post Friday on the Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “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!”
Two quarterbacks were selected in the first round of the draft on Thursday in Green Bay, Wis.: The Tennessee Titans selected Miami’s Cam Ward went No. 1 overall, and the New York Giants traded up to pick Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart at No. 25.
Just one QB came off the board in the second round on Friday, when the New Orleans Saints chose Louisville’s Tyler Shough at No. 40 overall.
In the third round, the Seattle Seahawks picked Alabama’s Jalen Milroe at No. 90 overall, and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel went to the Cleveland Browns two picks later.
Sanders led the country with a 74 percent completion rate last season while guiding the Buffaloes to a 9-4 record. He threw for 4,134 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Trump has some experience regarding pro football. He owned the USFL’s New Jersey Generals in the 1980s.
