After the NFL -Quarterback views were not selected in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday, many critics discussed why on social media.
The former Democratic American Rep. Jamaal Bowman joined the debate on Friday, suggesting that Sanders was slipping was because “America continues to fear strong black men.” Bowman also compared 23-year-old Quarterback with former NFL star Eli Manning, who refused to play for San Diego Chargers after being selected with No. 1 election in 2004.
“NFL doesn’t like [Shedeur]Sanders because he wears gold chains and speaks as a rapper. They don’t care that he is a leader, intelligent, hard and completed 77% of his passport without o-line and no running games. He is right, but Eli Manning was not entitled to when he refused to be prepared by San Diego? “Bowman wrote on X.
“He is not athletic, but it did not stop Joe Montana, Drew Brees or Tom Brady. America continues to fear strong black men who come from funds and have a strong sense of themselves without submitting to the ‘dominant’ culture.”

Bowman added in the video that he expects Cleveland Browns to pick Sanders with the first choice of the second round on Friday night.
“That’s the way cooked dresses. That’s the way he speaks, and it’s his culture, in my opinion. You see him on the draft last night. He has everything black. He got the l -chain and he speaks as a rapper,” Bowman said.
The first player chosen in the draft was the former Miami -Quarterback Cam Ward, who is also black. Twenty -five of the 32 players selected in the first round Friday were black men.
Posts of the draft offered regular shots from inside the Sanders house level in Texas when the family waited for Shed’s name to be called.

The shots showed that the family had installed a multi -layer shelf containing a hood for all 32 NFL team. But the 23-year-old hopeful pro did not get any of them at the party on Thursday.
At one point during Quarterback’s slide, his second brother, NFL Safety Prospect Shilo Sanders, insisted that “something going on” with the sheds not being elected.
“Bro, if they don’t take you right now, it’s something going on,” Shilo said. “If they don’t take him right now, it’s something going on. I don’t know what’s going on, but that’s something.”

In recordings submitted by Deion Jr., Shedeur did not approach a speech to his family when the first night of the draft was over.
“Of course we did not expect this, but I feel like God, everything possible, everything. Said quarterback.
“Day of tomorrow. We’ll be happy regardless. Legendary.”
