Deion Sanders Makes Motivational Post About Ignoring Opinions and Creating Opportunity

Colorado football head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders wrote a motivational post geared toward eschewing the opinions of others, following faith and creating opportunities.

Sanders frequently posts motivational messages on social media. The timing of this one occurred three days after his son, ex-Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, fell to the fifth round of the NFL draft to after largely being considered a first-round prospect. He eventually went No. 144 overall to the Cleveland Browns.

It was a stunning drop for Sanders, but that obviously won't stop him from getting an opportunity now with the Browns. Cleveland doesn't have a long-term answer right now at quarterback, and Sanders could very well assume that mantle by earning it.

The QB room currently consists of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson, rookie Dillon Gabriel and Sanders. There's no clear answer as far as QB1 in 2025, though one can presume that Flacco could be the signal-caller to start. Two years ago, Flacco was signed as a midseason free agent and led the Browns to the playoffs. His efforts were so impressive that he won Comeback Player of the Year honors.

The 40-year-old Flacco, an 18-year veteran, could have something left in the tank. But the Browns still need to figure out where to go after 2025. Maybe the answer is in next year's draft, or perhaps its in the QB room now.

Regardless, Sanders has his shot, regardless of what happened during the draft.
