NFL network analyst Kyle Brant skewed against the media narrative and theories around, why Shedsur Sanders slipped into the draft Cleveland Browns in the fifth round.
Brandt performed on “Good Morning Football” to address Sanders -You, who grabbed the weekend. Sports research immediately made the question of race. Stephen A. Smith called it “Kaepernick-Level Collusion”, while former congressman Jamaal Bowman theorized “America continues to fear strong black men.”

This did not sit well with Brandt. He said that Sanders, who slipped into the fifth round, started as a “football history for a drunken media story.”
“It became one of these seismic media -rodeos where you can sit there and see people as you have been following for years, saying things, you know they don’t think, or at best they said from an emotional place where they were so unhinged and out of the reservation … I mean, I hear things like conspiracy, collaboration – what are you talking about?” Asked Brandt.
“Don’t you think that if a team thought S, Sanders would help them win one game more than the other guy that they wouldn’t immediately draft him? They would. I promise you. These trainers, these GMs are occupied, desperate, nomadic people who just want to win games and not move their families to another city after they are fired.”
Brandt described the media talk as “so disgusting” that it causes NFL fans to “mess against” Sanders because of how teachers transferred their statements from Rails on the matter.

“It’s sad, and it’s stupid,” he continued. “And when something is as far away as this story has been to the planet Mars, as far into the ether, this so ruthlessly in the comment, look for some simple truths. … No team loved to throw himself into the draft. No one loved him as a player. If anyone loved him, they would have pulled him much earlier. Maybe some liked him but no one loved him.”
Brandt theorized that if teams did not play Sanders right away, they would not have the celebrity and the attention that comes with him, especially as a backup -quarterback.
“I don’t know if it’s a ball-bleepine insane enough to keep up with all the front trunners talking about howhedeur right now, but that’s my only practical reaction to what happened.”

Sanders was selected 144. Collected and will now compete to make the watch list with Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and colleague Draftmate Dillon Gabriel.
