General managers may not be fans of Shedeur Sanders, at least for a first-round pick, but the president is.

President Donald Trump ripped "stupid" NFL owners for passing on the star Colorado quarterback and letting him fall into the second round.

"What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
