“Calm your h** ass down”: Deion Sanders Jr. claps back at former Jets scout for criticising his brother Shedeur

Deion Sanders Jr., came to his brother, Shedeur Sanders's defense on X on Monday, when former New York Jets scout Daniel Kelly questioned Shedeur Sanders’s NFL potential. Sanders Jr. had a sharp response through his X account.

“Bro just calm yo h** ass down… we get it,” Sanders Jr. wrote.

Sanders is in the conversation for being the first overall pick, but not everyone is amazed by his talent. While some see him as a top prospect, Critics like former Jets scout Daniel Kelly, highlight his slow release, sack numbers, and a college system designed to maximize his production as factors that could mean Sanders's skills wouldn't translate to the NFL.

Kelly made his stance clear, stating on Monday:

“As a former NFL Scout, I have an undraftable free agent value on Shedeur Sanders 2024 Colorado film.”

Kelly pointed out Sanders’s slowest time to throw in the class (3.00 seconds in 2024) and highest sack total (94 in two seasons) as the reasons for his assessment. Even at Jackson State, Sanders was sacked 58 times, making it 152 career sacks across his college career.

"That’s what his demonstrated skill set at Colorado translates to as an NFL projection," Kelly wrote in his tweet. "Respectfully, I don’t understand the agenda out there to push him to go first round but it’s not going to do him any favors once the regular season starts and he has to face the realities of the NFL game."

"Watching people in the media push and promote Sanders as a first round talent is like watching Trey Lance pre draft 2021 all over again," the former scout added.
