The Sanders family has faced intense scrutiny since Shedeur Sanders began his NFL Draft process. New stories emerged almost daily until he unexpectedly fell to the fifth round.
He made the roster but sits as the last quarterback on the depth chart. Still, Sanders continues making an impact in the community.
“I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never seen what Shedeur Sanders is doing this early on in a player’s career. I’ve never seen that before, I’ve never seen a rookie come into the league and before he even played a snap is already in the Garden Valley Projects … All the things he’s doing (in the community). It’s a special thing he’s doing, that’s not normal.”
Cecil Shorts made those comments on Cleveland’s 92.3 The Fan.
This week brought challenges for the Sanders family. Shilo Sanders was cut by the Buccaneers and received a fine after getting ejected from a preseason game.
Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith reported the details.
“Shilo Sanders was cut by the Buccaneers and hasn’t signed with any other team, and he may never get another NFL job. But he is getting a fine from the league office. Sanders was fined $4,669 for throwing a punch in the Bucs’ preseason finale, according to multiple reports.”
Meanwhile, Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes lost a close game to Georgia Tech. An ESPN analyst heavily criticized him following the game’s ending.
It’s been a rough stretch for the Sanders family.
Shedeur decided to lift the family’s spirits with a message in their group chat.
“As SANDERS MEN we have to regroup,”
Shedeur sent to the family group message.
Shedeur isn’t shy about making his feelings known. The Sanders family essentially went 0-3 on the week. But as they always say, opportunity is still out there.
A new day has to begin. A new week must follow.
While Deion and Shilo may be feeling the weight of recent setbacks, Shedeur is determined to keep everyone grounded and motivated.
That’s what family is for.
