Shedeur Sanders' interview with Kay Adams drew backlash for NFL Draft prospect's outfit choice

Shedeur Sanders recently faced criticism online after wearing a hoodie during April 10's interview on Kay Adams’ show. The 2025 NFL Draft prospect, who was at the airport after a visit with the Steelers, became the target of harsh comments.

But Kay Adams quickly came to his defense, saying there was nothing wrong with his choice of outfit.

Adams explained that Sanders wore the hoodie to stay low-key in a busy place after a long day. She praised his respectfulness, saying:

“He was at the airport, he had his hood on. He was being so low-key, he just left the Pittsburgh facility and he was around tons of people trying not to be seen, to be respectful of me, not the ideal situation he would have wanted for an interview,” Adams said on Tuesday's episode.

“And the amount of crap, and just like, people with their comments about his hood, and that is why I love him, because there was no reason for him to get that and he was getting it.”

That said, Shedeur Sanders' draft stock has been falling in recent weeks. Some NFL Draft Analysts are projecting him outside the top 10 picks.
