The main reason he is falling now is because teams think having him as a backup would be a distraction.

I think there is a good chance the Steelers draft him. Even if they get Rodgers, they still need someone long term. And they have such a solid foundation, ownership group, coaching, that I don't think they'd allow it to be a big distraction as much as it might be for other teams if he wasn't starting.

After Antonio Brown, Chase Claypool and now George Pickens, there was a report that Mike Tomlin told the Steelers FO he’s done dealing with diva players and that he’ll retire if they get him another one.

That’s why mocks having Sanders drafted by Steelers never made sense to me.


I didn't ever see him being a diva, but didn't pay close attention to him. I knew Deion was all about himself and flash, but didn't know his son was.

So much for getting humbled.

His dad is the issue. He should’ve taught his kids how to act instead of shoving a golden spoon up their ass every time they act out. Marvin Harrison Jr grew up rich too but doesn’t do this stuff.



2 completely different human beings . Harrison is humble and quiet . Prime…is not lol.. but even though I agree with you I don’t think there’s much of a chance those kids turned out different no matter how hard he tried because it would take not being himself 24 hours a day . If he adopted a Eskimo within a couple years that kid would be wearing shades and bling saying what’s good baby lol


But I don’t think the attitude or allegeded attitude was the issue with every team . Take the Giants . If they drafted him and won 5 games all you would hear about is how Prime will be the next coach . You would hear it by midsseason and it would never stop . And actually I’m not sure about the kid but I think Prime would make an outstanding nfl coach .

Yeah, they got a few offensive linemen as UDFAs. 18 guys overall that I know about, including a pretty exciting RB who has speed and had a 5th round grade.

They got a ton of value, including the trade they made with the Jags & getting a future 1st.

Also Harrison Jr. left his home when he went to college. Shedeur has always been around his dad.

To me it seems like Shedeur is mentally a child. He shows very little ability for introspection. Not unusual for elite athletes who have always been treated like that but he takes it to another level. His whole draft approach was one mistake after another.

The Eagles tried that one year and it didn't go all that well. Some decent players but no real standout (the ones who get drafted for their potential and reach it in the pros).

Outside of not getting a WR they drafted pretty well.

They had so many needs it was difficult to fill them all.
The theory is that they are trading for one but I’m not holding my breath.

Yea they had too many needs to fill with the picks they had. I would have loved Matthew Golden or Emeka Egbuka but I’m perfectly fine with taking who many considered the best interior OL in the draft.

As for what they will actually do at WR. A trade is likely. They could also sign Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper (not my favorite option). They will also give Mingo a shot to prove if he can handle being the #2 or #3 WR.

Apparently they did it to Tyler Warren too right? Scumbag kid who’s parent probably never beat him.

Yeah the whole draft room they did with the catch phrase BS all over the place and all the social media didn’t help him . That’s the kind of stuff the father should control . But his name is Prime time . lol Thing is when your 1 of the greatest athletes ever you can get away with a whole lot more then the average draft prospect.

It would be hilarious though to a team like the Saints if Shedeur Sanders actually ended up being good.

If I were on the jury of that trial, I'd laugh when they play the video.

Deion is straight Legend down there in Atlanta. That's where Prime Time was born. That was cold blooded for that organization to be involved

Oh yeah, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. He blamed his OL publicly after the loss to Nebraska, other instances of blaming his teammates too. Rarely actually held himself accountable after losses.
