Tom Brady Reveals Why NFL Players Hate Shedeur Sanders
Tom Brady EXPOSES the Truth Behind Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Draft Disaster
The NFL world thought they’d seen it all — but nothing prepared fans for the shocking draft-day humiliation of Shedeur Sanders. Once projected as a top-five pick, Sanders endured one of the most brutal draft slides in history, falling all the way to the fifth round. And according to insiders, this wasn’t an accident. It was a message.
The Warning from Tom Brady
Weeks before the draft, Tom Brady — Shedeur’s mentor and the greatest quarterback to ever play the game — dropped a line that would later haunt the young QB:
“I think he needs to get his ass in the film room and spend less time in the car and more time in the film.”
At the time, it sounded like tough-love advice. But in hindsight, it was a warning — one that NFL insiders later twisted into a weapon against Shedeur, painting him as arrogant, unprepared, and reckless.
A Draft Day Meltdown
Despite 14,000 passing yards, 134 touchdowns, and a 71.8% completion rate, Shedeur was passed on again and again. Not because of his stats — but because of something more sinister. Rumors swirled of missed meetings, poor interviews, and lavish spending habits, all amplified by his father Deion Sanders’ fiery defense.
But the real bombshell came after the draft.
Eric Dickerson’s Explosive Allegation
NFL legend Eric Dickerson went live on LA Sports Radio and dropped a claim that rocked the league to its core:
“I heard from someone in the NFL — they told teams don’t draft him. They wanted to make an example out of Shedeur.”
According to Dickerson, the NFL’s plan was even darker: Sanders wasn’t supposed to be drafted at all. It was only a last-minute call to the Cleveland Browns that saved him from being completely blackballed.
Stephen A. Smith Confirms the Whispers
Then came Stephen A. Smith, adding fuel to the fire. On ESPN’s First Take, he revealed that NFL owners directly ordered their teams not to draft Sanders.
“I’ve been a reporter for 30 years. I was told straight up: owners told their personnel, ‘You’re not drafting him.’”
With two powerhouse voices backing the collusion theory, the NFL found itself in the middle of a scandal bigger than anything since Spygate.
A League-Wide Smear Campaign?
The pieces suddenly fit. The flashy cars. The NIL millions. The confident Sanders swagger. To NFL executives, Shedeur wasn’t just a young quarterback — he was a threat to the old guard’s control.
Deion Sanders’ outspokenness didn’t help. By publicly predicting his son would be a top-five pick and challenging the league’s culture, Deion painted a target on his family. Insiders claim the NFL decided to humble them — even if it meant sabotaging Shedeur’s career before it began.
The Fallout
Tom Brady, caught in the middle as Shedeur’s mentor and minority owner of the Raiders (who passed on Sanders eight times), quickly distanced himself from the conspiracy. But his private text to Shedeur revealed everything:
“Wherever you go, that’s your first day. Day two matters more than the draft.”
For Shedeur Sanders, the draft-day humiliation may have been the beginning of his greatest battle yet — not just against NFL defenses, but against the league’s system itself.
