Deion “Bucky” Sanders Jr. had had enough. The eldest son of legendary Coach Prime was fed up with the hypocrisy and jumped to the defense of his brother, Shedeur Sanders, focusing on recent statements by Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
Amid all the controversy surrounding him leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers were one of the favorites to select the former Colorado star in the first round. However, Pittsburgh chose another path, and it took the Cleveland Browns to stop Sanders’ free fall, taking him with the 144th overall pick.
That happened despite Pittsburgh inviting Sanders for a private tour of its facilities before the draft weekend. A week after the draft, Tomlin finally spoke about that visit and had nothing but praise for the young quarterback. However, Deion Jr. felt those were just words, belied by the team’s actions.
Bucky is fed up with the hypocrisy
At a press conference a few days ago, Tomlin revealed that the meeting with Shedeur had been a regular pre-draft visit. Regarding the player, the coach admitted, “There’s a toughness there that doesn’t get talked about enough. There’s a competitive spirit that doesn’t get talked about enough.”
The praise continued, but it didn’t explain why the Steelers passed on Shedeur in the draft, and that was the final straw for Deion Jr. In a post on his Well Off Media Instagram profile, Bucky shared the clip of Tomlin’s remarks with a devastating three-word caption: “You tell me.”
Fans are with Bucky and Shedeur
The lapidary statement encapsulates the frustration not only of Deion Sanders’s eldest son but the entire family, and fans agree. At the time of writing, the post has accumulated more than 4,500 likes and 450 comments, all from fans outraged by Tomlin’s stance after the draft.
Now that the draft has passed and Shedeur is about to wear the Browns’ uniform for the first time at the rookie minicamp, the moment of truth has arrived. This is when the young gun must prove he’s made for great things and thus disprove all those who didn’t believe in him.

NFL Week 8 Betting: Best early bets before lines move
Week 7 is nearly a wrap, and betting lines are now available for Week 8. Here are our favorite early spread picks for the slate. Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos (-3) [Total: 48.5] Best Bet: Over 48.5 The Cowboys are seemingly aware that winning requires pouring it on offensively and racing teams to 35. Dallas holds top-five marks in nearly all key offensive metrics, including EPA per play (0.149, second) and scoring drive rate (52.0%, third). And that may just be the tip of the iceberg after the team welcomed back star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb from a nearly four-game absence. With a full complement of weapons in Week 7, the Cowboys' offense put up 34 points on the Washington Commanders through three quarters before taking their foot off the gas. The Commanders‘ defense isn’t near the caliber of the […]
Řepka se obul do FAČR. Po Haškovi se šlapalo, teď se vymýšlejí kraviny, zlobí se bývalý stoper
Nelíbí se vám, že vedení FAČR avizovalo, že možná půjde zahraniční cestou? A tím, že mužstvo asi zatím povede Haškův asistent Jaroslav Köstl.Nevím, jestli je dobře dávat k nároďáku cizince. Proč? Na co? Po Hášovi se šlapalo od začátku, neměl žádný klid. Furt byl ve stresu. Potkával jsem se s ním na různých akcích, bylo na něm vidět, že je vystresovaný. Nenechali ho pracovat, prostě to bylo na prd. Nechápu, proč Hášu nenechali kvalifikaci dojet. Před kvalifikací řekl, že cílem je postup na mistrovství světa. A že je jedno, jestli přímo nebo přes baráž. Situace přece není fatální.Zvýšil se tlak na Haška příchodem Pavla Nedvěda do pozice generálního manažera reprezentací?Pavla mám rád. Mám velký obdiv k tomu, co ve fotbale dokázal. Klobouk dolů před ním. Velká legenda, respekt. Ale možná je v tom kus pravdy.Nicméně výkony české reprezentace nebyly dobré. V některých zápasech působili hráči vlažně.A kde […]
