Former Rep. Jamal Bowman (D-NY) criticized the NFL after Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, fell from the first round of the NFL draft, claiming it was due to racism.
in video Posted on X, Bowman claims that the NFL doesn’t like “Shedeur,” and “speaks like a rapper.” Bowman pointed out that Chedur recognized someone like “draft slip” as “personal” because of the way he spoke, how he was his father, compared to other NFL players who were unable to play his position.
Bowman’s criticism comes when President Donald Trump criticized the NFL owners after Chedur passed away in the first round of the NFL Draft.

“Last year, or two years ago, we drafted Anthony Richardson who has it all but can’t play that position. And Chedur has everything else, [you] What’s probably needed is toughness, leadership, intelligence,” Bowman said, adding that Chedur is “accurate in football,” and that he “threw predictions.”
“He has everything, but we don’t draft him,” Bowman continued. “And throughout my life I’ve seen the team draft people like Josh Rosen and Brady Quinn.”
“I don’t know people. That’s how you talk about him. Yes, yeah, that’s what you got his father. In my opinion, it’s culture.”
“I keep listening, ‘Oh, he’s given the rights. He feels the rights.’ I continued, when these white boys who came before him said he didn’t want to play in San Diego. “Chedur is not qualified.”
“I think of it personally – and maybe I shouldn’t, but when I see someone like Chedure Sanders, I personally accept it, he speaks in a certain way, he wears gold chains, his pop is hair removal, and he doesn’t want to submit to y’all s**t.
