Deion Sanders calls out 10 NFL teams that skipped Jackson State's pro day

“There’s 32 teams in this Crayola box,” Sanders said. “Therefore, the Dolphins, the Broncos, the Texans, the Bills, the Buccaneers, the Ravens, the Panthers, the Browns, the Vikings and the Eagles, where art thou? You could have sent somebody, man. You could have shown up just a little bit.

“I guarantee you that you’re going to go to Mississippi State and Ole Miss. I guarantee you you’re going to show up there. I understand, you’re saying they have more talent, I understand. Guess what? We’re coming. And when we arrive, you better be here. Because our kids deserve it.”

We don’t know for sure whether or not Sanders’ figures are correct, but he’s probably unlikely to trash NFL teams like this unless he was pretty confident he had reason to. Plus, this is his way of attracting attention to his program and sticking up for his players. He’s proved to be great at that so far.

Considering how much Jackson State and Sanders have been crushing it in recruiting, it is a bit surprising that some teams opted against sending a scout. Perhaps they weren’t anticipating getting publicly called out for it.
