Spaltist Jemele Hill offered his own acquisition of Shedsur Sanders’ draft slide over the weekend as he fell to the fifth round and was taken by Cleveland Browns.
Hill showed up at “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” on Tuesday and dismissed the story that Sander fell so far in the draft because he was a confident black man who taught throughout the weekend and even went so far as accusing the NFL team to collapse with each other to make sure the former Colorado Buffalo’s star fell.

She did not believe that Sanders’ draft slide was about race “at all” and made a proposal to black people in her diatribe.
“The bottom line is perhaps that we have to accept the fact – and that is not to say that shedsur Sanders can’t continue to have a big NFL career, can’t do great things – but maybe we are as black people need to accept the fact that Deion Sanders may have overplay his hand a little,” Hill said. “And there is no crime in him that adds all confidence in shooting watch. I was not bothered by the wrist that bent, none of it. NFL team, if you are talented enough, they don’t care. And we’ve seen this countless times.”
Hill pointed to Baltimore Ravens and chose the defensive end Mike Green in the first round. The former Marshall stand out faced accusations of sexual assault in the past and set a school record with 17 sacks to the thunderous group in 2024. The ravens said they examined the requirements thoroughly.
“In the NFL, they make these talent decisions all the time, but if the talent is worth it, they don’t give anything damn if he appeared in gold -plated everything, flashing anything, as long as you can play. That’s all they are interested in,” she said.

Hill also lamented the lack of attention to No. 1 Pick Cam Ward because of the virginity that was the coverage of Sanders throughout the weekend.
Ward had a star season with Miami Hurricanes after he transferred from Washington State. Ward went into collegial ranks with incarnate words when he was a zero star’s recruiter. In the end, he bet on himself and turned out to be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation.
“But the person I really think is a pity for is Cam Ward. Cam Ward went # 1st. Cam Ward was a zero star’s recruits from a two-parents home-because you know how we like to throw it around on some respectability,” Hill said. “He is an amazing player, confident, doing all things, prepared # 1, and with the way people have embraced this tale that Sceede was done wrong, it’s as if they basically make Cam Ward sound like he’s Steven from ‘Django.’
“And I’m like, you don’t even know this child! Suddenly he is painted in this light because ‘oh, nfl accepts that type of black but not this type of black.’ It’s as if you know how many players, how many black players went ahead of Sheteur Sanders?

Ward is likely to be the week 1 starter for the Tennessee Titans, while Sanders will have to move up the depth card hoping to get some playing time in 2025.
