“It didn’t anger me, but you know me, I’m gonna get to the bottom of it,” Sanders stated. “So I called that group as a result of I tracked it down. I knew who it was. I called the top coach and we had a candid dialog.
“We have been actually cool. He stated, ‘Prime, that never happened.’ He stated, ‘Matter of fact, it was great. We all walked out of there saying, ‘Damn, this kid got it.’ That by no means occurred.
“I said, ‘Yeah, but this guy on your staff lied and said it did. So you need you check him.’ And he did check him. But it never happened.”
Sanders added that he didn’t converse to the unnamed quarterbacks coach.
“He knew I know. I never called him I just called his head coach… because that was a lie,” Sanders stated.

“What about all the other guys? So my guys are the only guys that are flawed? … How is he not the only kid that we heard about not participating at the combine? Do you know how many kids didn’t participate at the combine? But you only heard about mine.”
Shedeur made waves whereas on the podium in Indianapolis earlier this month, and stated that groups shouldn’t draft him in the event that they don’t need a quarterback who’s going to return in and change the tradition.

Sanders went on to clarify that many are “tired” of seeing his household win.
“Not just games, but winning at life,” Sanders stated earlier than itemizing his accolades on and off the sphere. “… [People are like] ‘OK that’s enough, because we’ve been dealing with him since [1988]. Now I gotta deal with his kids and they’re good too, they’re handsome and they’re articulate and they’re savvy. No I ain’t ready for that. So, we’re not gonna deal with him and his kids and his teams.’”
Sanders added that he’d be proud of Shedeur taking part in for the Giants, Titans, Browns Raiders or Saints.

“We’re not panicking. We’re not tripping. First of all, this is a blessing, man… Shedeur has told me, he talked to me intently about all the visits he’s had with all the teams. I know where his heart is, I know where he wants to go,” Deion stated.
“If it’s New York, it’s New York, if its Tennessee, if its Cleveland, if its still the Raiders, if it’s still New Orleans, if it’s any of those teams that are seeking a quarterback I’m happy with it man — because I know what he’s going to do to the organization.”
