“What’s wrong with NFL owners are they stupid?” Trump wrote on April 25. “Deion Sanders was a good college football player and was even bigger in the NFL. He is also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, shedur, his quarterback -son, phenomenal nuisance and are ready for greatness.”
At one point during a recent phone interview with Pakinomist contributor Hugh Hewitt was asked what motivated him to defend Sanders. Trump said it was a combination of the NFL Great Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s father and the young quarterbacks “Genetics.”

“His father is a big Trump fan and I like it when people are Trump fans,” Trump told Hewitt. “His father has said big things about me over the years.
“No 2, genetics. He has good genes for a football player. I saw him playing a little and I thought he was a really talented quarterback. I like his gene pool and I like his talent. I really think he’s going to do well. I just felt they were treating him really bad.”

Shilo Sanders, Shedsur’s brother, also weighs into Trump’s commitment.
“Man, I don’t even want to lie. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” he said at the podcast “One Night With Steiny.” “Fam, if you got the president tweeting, bro, you know there’s something wrong.”
Shortly after last month’s draft wrapped, Tampa Bay signed Buccaneers Shilo as a non -drawn free agent. The signing received a message of gratitude from his Hall of Fame father.

“I’m very grateful. Tampa is a wonderful place,” Deion said during a twitch stream. “Coach [Todd] Bowles is a defensive-minded guy. He is brilliant. ”
The two-time Super Bowl winner took it a step further by calling Tampa Bay General Manager Jason Licht.
“Coach Prime called him on Saturday night and thanked him for giving (Shilo) a fair shot,” according to Joe Buc’s fan.
