Deion "Bucky" Sanders Jr. wasn't thrilled with his brother, Shedeur, falling in the 2025 NFL Draft. The eldest son of Deion Sanders decided to air out his thoughts on the matter by posting a clip from Mike Tomlin in a post-draft press conference. The Steelers coach tried to explain why the organization didn't take Shedeur in the middle of the draft.
Pittsburgh invited Sanders for an interview before the draft weekend and was projected as a favorite to take the Buffs quarterback. Tomlin revealed that the meeting with Shedeur had been a regular pre-draft visit. "There's a toughness there that doesn't get talked about enough. There's a competitive spirit that doesn't get talked about enough," Tomlin said.
While Tomiln praised Shedeur, he didn't give an explanation why Pittsburgh didn't take him. This didn't sit well with Bucky. In a post on his Well Off Media Instagram, he shared the clip of Tomlin's remarks with a caption, "You tell me."
For all the controversy leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders wasn't projected to fall out of the first round. Except NFL teams thought otherwise with the Cleveland Browns stopping Sanders' fall by taking him with the 144th overall pick.
Everyone is searching for answers about why Sanders was rejected. But at the heart of the argument, this QB class wasn't stellar and there weren't more than about four to six teams in desperate need of a signal-caller.
Sanders has already reported to Cleveland and is about to wear No. 12 for the Browns starting Friday. The rookie minicamp will be the first look at him in the NFL. 'Grown' will be out to make a statement with a chip on his shoulder.
