It’s rare to see a talent like Shedeur Sanders getting overlooked as badly as he is right now. Heading into the draft, it felt like he was standing right on the doorstep of stardom. Sure, people criticized his attitude a bit, but no one really expected this sharp turn. As names were called and rounds passed, Shedeur stayed unpicked. Can you imagine being a top-tier talent and still having such trouble making it to the big league? It’s wild, right? After putting up historic numbers and showing real leadership, how did the narrative flip so quickly?
Even his father, Deion Sanders, known as “Prime Time,” was certain his son would go early. “We’ve already won… Shedeur’s getting drafted… He’s going in the first round,” he confidently said. For Deion, this was more than pride; it was about legacy and family. He reminded everyone, “When that last name is on your back, you’re going to be attacked.” Sadly, no matter how loudly he believed, the draft didn’t go the way he had hoped.
Things got even more interesting when Gabrielle Union decided to show her support publicly. She posted a screenshot of a tweet saying, “The NFL is forcing me to root for whatever team that drafts Shedeur because all of this is some bullshit.” Not stopping there, she added, @shedeursanders I’m buying whatever jersey you rocking! We ALL know what’s going down and we 10 toes down.” This message of support from her came at an interesting time as the 49ers just passed on Shedeur, picking Upton Stout instead, which made Gabrielle’s words even more surprising.
Gabrielle’s support for the 49ers was never a secret, especially during her Super Bowl excitement days. Just last year, she proudly shared, “I’m here for Usher but I hope the 49ers win,” showing her loyalty. Now, with her message to Shedeur, things seem different. It appears she is not happy with the way Shedeur is being passed on by the teams. Her post feels like a strong break from her past team love.
This is a developing story…
