Shedeur Sanders’ camp already involved in media rift in Cleveland: ‘Spewed hate’

Shedeur Sanders’ camp already involved in media rift in Cleveland: ‘Spewed hate’

There’s already some drama brewing for Shedeur Sanders and his camp in his new home of Cleveland.

A member of Sanders’ support staff who posted videos of the quarterback’s recent trip to a Cleveland high school lashed out at an ESPN Cleveland radio host who questioned Sanders’ intentions, labeling the host’s opinion as “spewed hate.”

“Shedeur did NOT post anything! I posted it,” a Sanders supporter, Hellion ‘Boog’ Knight posted Thursday on X in a quote tweet featuring the initial criticism. “He didn’t ask me, or anyone else to post anything. Nor did he ask for a hundred cameras to be on him upon his entrance into the school. This isn’t his first school visit. He’s done MANY, in various cities & states.This is just spewed hate.”

Sanders’ drop to the Browns in the fifth round at pick No. 144 served as the 2025 NFL Draft’s biggest storyline, with many wondering why a talented quarterback fell that far.

Concerns about his off-the-field traits and his talent level have been discussed, but some pundits wondered about all the attention Sanders and his camp would bring to a team.

Sanders posts tons of content on social media dating back to his time at Jackson State, which his father, Deion, fully supported and even leaned into at different parts as his head coach also at Colorado.

Sanders has a full video team as part of his mᴀssive support system.

This drama came to light after Sanders did a good deed by visiting John Marshall High School in Cleveland, with the quarterback honoring his pledge to get involved with youths in his new home.

Knight posted clips from the day on X, while commenting: “We appreciate the love & pᴀssion from the Cleveland Brown fan base!!”

ESPN Cleveland’s Aaron Goldhammer had an issue with the visit, though,

“I would have preferred that if he was gonna go talk to a bunch of high school kids, he didn’t post it on social media five seconds after the thing was over,” Goldhammer said.

Co-host Tony Rizzo sH๏τ down the take, saying the Browns provide similar content during the season.

“I felt like it was him screaming, ‘See, look how good a person I am. I went to a school, then I worked out. I’m doing all the right things,’” Goldhammer said.

Another member of the show, Chris Oldach, then said Goldhammer needs to bash any rookie who visits an ill child in the hospital.

“He’s not any rookie,” Goldhammer said. “And the Browns are the ones posting that stuff, not the individual players.”

Knight is cited by many outlets as the head of operations for Lil Wayne’s Young Money APPA Sports, which represents fellow ex-Colorado star Travis Hunter, and his X timeline has been filled with retweets supporting Sanders, along with his take on the situation and why he defended him.

He tagged Goldhammer while posting videos from other places where Sanders has paid it forward, including in Colorado and during the Shrine Bowl in Texas.

He further explained his logic in responding in a quote tweet of a post recapping the situation.

“Exactly. I just like to set the record straight. ‘The media’ at times, wants to bury your name in lies, and not be held accountable for doing so,” Knight wrote. “And want you to be ok with it. I say, place the accountability in the right place. Don’t attack the kid, come at me. I’m ok with it.”
