Deion Sanders sent an X post just after his son Shedeur shockingly fell to 144 in the NFL Draft, saying, "I can do better, I know better, I was taught better."

Initially, reports suggested that Sanders’ entire family overplayed their hand, contributing to his fall. High-profile commentators like Stephen A. Smith pointed out the Sanders family's involvement throughout the process. Cris Carter believes Shedeur’s brand-building efforts may have backfired.

A 21-year-old son of an NFL assistant coach has taken responsibility for prank-calling former University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft late last week.
