rear Chedur Sanders He dropped out of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, President Donald Trump On Friday afternoon, he plunged the situation into politics.
The owner of Trump’s Truth Social Post NFL has called him “silly” who doesn’t draft Sanders and wants to “pick immediately” a quarterback. Unprecedented draft slides.
Sanders was not “quickly” chosen as Trump ordered, as the quarter slipped off from the second and third rounds on Friday night. Sanders wasn’t taken to the Cleveland Browns’ 144th pick until the fifth round on Saturday.
Still, Trump spokesman Caroline Leavitt took the freedom to praise Sanders’s chosen post.
“What I say is that the president made a statement and he was drafted a few rounds later, so I think the facts are now speaking for himself,” Leavitt told reporters Monday.
However, it’s not too quick to praise Trump for helping the Thunder get taken away.
“I would want to be a very divided country with as much extreme opinions as possible on both sides of the spectrum,” Steinberg told Fox News Digital about what his response would be if Trump called on one of his clients to be drafted.

Steinberg, who represents a record eight players in the first overall pick of the NFL Draft, does not believe that Trump’s post had a major impact on the results of Sanders’ draft.
“I don’t think so because the team is closely concentrated in war rooms across the country. They know who wants. The team hasn’t downgraded him because of political figures,” Steinberg said.
Still, Steinberg believes Trump is increasing the scope of the situation from a propaganda perspective.
“It certainly did because it followed the president, but anything else involved the general public who might not be aware of what was going on,” Steinberg said.
Additionally, additional caution could lead to unexpected benefits for Sanders.
Steinberg said he believes Trump’s praise for the quarterback will ultimately increase the value of Sanders’ reputation and his marketability as an NFL professional in the future.
Sanders was once contested for an overall overall pick in the draft, but could soon be estimated as a team starter.

However, reports of concerns about Sanders and rumored characters, who had poor interviews with the team, emerged in the months and weeks leading up to the draft, eventually suffering from the fifth unprecedented slide.
Steinberg himself was surprised as he expected Sanders to be selected in the second round. An agent who has represented athletes for over 50 years says Sanders’ draft slide was the most amazing draft slide he’d ever seen.
“It’s being unfolded by a national audience, and it’s endless and it distorts time because players seem to be rejected, rejected and rejected. “This is falling sharply, as I’ve seen in 51 years.”
As a veteran agent with a history of quarterback drafting, Steinberg believes there are things Sanders can do to support draft stocks in 2025.
For one, Steinberg says the quarterback may have benefited from having his own agent as Sanders chose to represent himself along with his father and former college coach Dion Sanders.
If the family chooses to go with the agent instead, Steinberg expects to run an interview simulation with the NFL general manager before the NFL combines.
“We bring in a general manager who prepares players for a one-on-one visit at the combine,” Steinberg said.
“Players are prepared to be asked for any question and they are doing the right attitude. This is something you need to be confident but not rog arrogant.”
The mistake of the quarterback in the NFL Draft is that it shaped the league landscape.

Steinberg also says he tells his quarterback clients to scale back their social media activities and try to get promotion if they feel that there are too many clients.
“The feeling that it would have a circus-like vibe for the team that drafted him isn’t something they want in their culture,” Steinberg said.
“Deion Sanders are great, but if the way they used social media raised concerns that this is not a modest team player, then the humble player could have got into the team and influenced someone.”
Still, Steinberg thinks Sanders is still equipped to make a successful NFL career and will soon be able to compete for the team’s starting quarterback position in his rookie year.
