Cam Newton Calls Out Narrative Against Deion Sanders Amid Recent Criticism

Sanders has been heavily involved in Shedeur’s career, coaching him at Jackson State and Colorado while helping him navigate the transition to the NFL. Despite that, critics have questioned whether his presence has been a hindrance rather than a benefit.

Shedeur, who was once projected as a first-round pick, ultimately fell to the fifth round, landing with the Cleveland Browns. While some analysts pointed to concerns about his playing style, others speculated that his father’s outspoken nature may have played a role in teams passing on him.

Newton, however, isn’t buying it. He believes Sanders has done everything right as a father and coach, and that the criticism is more about perception than reality.

As Shedeur begins his NFL journey, the debate over his draft slide will continue. But Newton’s defense of Deion Sanders made it clear that he’s not letting the narrative go unchecked.
