Deion Sanders Forced to Respond to Antonio Brown’s Scathing Attack on Shedeur Over Draft Slide

It’s not easy for any dad to stay silent while the world hates on your son. It’s harder when the person spreading negativity is someone you know well. This time, Deion Sanders made his case clear in a subtle yet direct message to a former NFL player who’s been throwing mud on Shedeur Sanders’ draft slide. 

In his X post on May 2, Deion Sanders directly tagged Antonio Brown with the message — “Love ya man & I appreciate u my brother. I will never publicly or privately speak negatively on you man regardless of what’s said. You KNOW I know u and I’m holding on & praying for the AB I know. Even when I played corner I ain’t need no help. Lolol. Love ya 2 Life! PRIME.” Let’s just say Deion Sanders was lenient with his response given the way AB came on at Shedeur Sanders. 

@AB84 Love ya man & I appreciate u my brother. I will never publicly or privately speak negatively on you man regardless of what’s said. You KNOW I know u and I’m holding on & praying for the AB I know. Even when I played corner I ain’t need no help. Lolol. Love ya 2 Life! PRIME

Sliding to the fifth round at No. 144 to the Cleveland Browns is enough heartbreak in itself. But the cruel world didn’t leave Shedeur Sanders alone. Antonio Brown shared a video of the 23-year-old visiting and engaging with student-athletes at John Marshall High School during his first week in Cleveland. But it’s the explicit caption that rubbed everyone wrong. “Now he sucking d— where the cockiness 5th round na now this the type of s— they have u do when u go 5th round,” he wrote. An undoubted controversial figure Brown is, but does Shedeur deserve such a ruthless treatment?
