Well before Shedeur Sanders slid to the fifth round of the NFL Draft, Tom Brady gave him some ruthless advice that has now resurfaced.

Sanders, and his father, ex-NFL star Deion, appeared on a September 2023 edition of Brady’s ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast when the topic of cars came up at the very end.

‘Tom, do you think a college kid needs a Phantom, a Rolls Royce?’, Deion asked.

Shedeur then clarified that he actually had a Cullinan rather than a Phantom, but it made little difference to Brady.

‘I think he needs to get his a** in the film room and spend as much time in there as possible and less time in the car,’ he said with a grin on his face.

Deion then exclaimed ‘Thank you Tom!’ before the interview ended.

Close to two years later, Shedeur endured a nightmare NFL Draft as the one-time projected first-rounder waited until the 144th pick to hear his name called.

The former Colorado pᴀsser, who reportedly flubbed several of his pre-draft interviews, was ultimately selected by the Cleveland Browns, who also selected rookie Dillon Gabriel in the third round.

Following the quarterback’s slide in the draft, much has been made about his approach to the process, in which he did not participate in drills at the NFL Combine.

CBS college football analyst Ross Tucker also shed more light on a ‘very unusual’ experience with Sanders while he was in college.

Sanders was meant to meet with Tucker in a production meeting last year ahead of CBS’ broadcast of a Colorado-Colorado State game.

But as Tucker explained on the Dan Patrick Show last week, Sanders skipped out on the meetings entirely after initially rescheduling due to an injury treatment.

‘We weren’t really given a reason, but we did not talk to Shedeur at the production meetings, which, as you know, starting quarterback, especially high-profile player like that, very unusual,’ Tucker said, before revealing another strange aspect of the story.

‘I walk out of the H๏τel, and there’s a pickup truck in front of the H๏τel, and Shedeur is just sitting in the back of the pickup truck,’ he recalled of the day that the meeting was rescheduled to.

‘It just made me wonder,’ Tucker continued. ‘People asked me, NFL people asked me after that game, ‘What did you think of Shedeur?’ And I said, ‘I didn’t get to talk to him.’ Maybe he’s the greatest kid ever, maybe he’s a bad kid. I don’t know. But I told them the story, and they just kind of nodded their head.’
