President Trump Calls NFL Owners “STUPID”


President Trump called NFL owners “stupid” in a post on Truth Social on Friday evening.

Trump’s comments were in response to the fact that no NFL owners drafted University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Shedeur Sanders is the son of former NFL Star turned college football coach Deion Sanders.

Trump wrote, “What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?”

He added, “Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN.”

Take a look:

Per NBC News:

President Donald Trump harshly criticized NFL franchises for not drafting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the first round of Thursday’s draft, calling all 32 team owners “stupid.”

Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was not taken among the first 32 picks. While many mock drafts had Shedeur Sanders going in the first round — often to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 — there was not a wide consensus he would be a first-round pick.

“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be ‘picked’ IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”

Sanders, 23, was the Big 12 offensive player of the year for the Buffaloes last season. He is NBC Sports’ Connor Rogers’ 30th-ranked prospect in the entire class.

Trump has not been shy about voicing his opinions on the NFL in the past.

Per The New York Post:

Mel Kiper is hardly the biggest name in Shedeur Sanders’ corner.

Donald Trump himself blasted teams for passing on Sanders in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft in a Truth Social post on Friday in which the Commander-in-Chief praised his father, football great Deion Sanders, and called out the NFL owners who passed on the prospect.

“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?” he wrote. “Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”

Sanders falling out of the first round was the biggest story of Night 1 of the draft, after he had been predicted to be a top-five pick at one point in time, with ESPN’s Kiper heaping praise upon him throughout the broadcast.

Instead, teams like the Giants and Steelers – both linked to the Colorado quarterback – went in different directions and Sanders entered Friday night still on the draft board.

All eyes will be on Sanders when Day 2 of the draft begins on Friday night as to whether a team will take him or if he’ll drop even further down.
