ESPN's Rece Davis dishes on if sports media is protective over Shedeur, Deion Sanders

ESPN's Rece Davis discussed whether the media is protective of Shedeur, Deion Sanders during a recent appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

Shedeur Sanders had an historic and unprecedented free fall in the NFL Draft last week, and the story has dominated sports media ever since.

ESPN’s "College GameDay" host Rece Davis weighed in on whether the media is protective or even afraid of Sanders, but also his legendary father, Colorado coach Deion, as well.

"I’m sure some are. I think that when you paint with a broad brush like that, that you don’t acknowledge the fact that there will be some people who are and some who aren’t," Davis said during a recent appearance on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich."

"And I think the flip side of that is, I think that there are also probably people who are predisposed not to root for him and do like for every little thing that you might not like."

Davis said there are people in sports media who try and protect Deion and Shedeur, while others may be overly critical. 

"But I don’t think that you can say that absolutely, that all sports media are trying to protect Deion and Shedeur, just as I think it would be unfair if you picked out a few guys who are saying (Shedeur)’s not good enough, Deion did X Y and Z for him and that’s the only reason he is in this spot, I think that’s unfair too," Davis said.
