Deion Sanders Urged To Learn From Archie Manning After Shedeur Sanders’ Move to Browns originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Stephen A. Smith says Deion Sanders was "devastated" to watch his son Shedeur Sanders slide into the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft.

Shedeur, who was a projected borderline first-round pick, slipped all the way to the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns drafted him at No. 144 overall. The elder Sanders specifically refuted the notion that Shedeur was "unprepared" for pre-draft interviews, and that he wore headphones during one meeting with a team.
