Tom Brady Advises Shedeur Sanders Amid NFL Draft Slide

After Shedeur Sanders, once projected as a top pick, slid to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft, an old video resurfaced of Tom Brady advising him to focus less on luxury cars and more on studying game film. Sanders, who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns, faced criticism for his pre-draft process, including skipping NFL Combine drills and reportedly poor interview performances, as well as concerns about his attitude and his father's involvement. The video, originally from a podcast with Deion Sanders and Tom Brady, shows Brady bluntly telling Shedeur to get 'his a** in the film room.' The contrast between Sanders' flashy lifestyle—afforded by lucrative NIL deals—and Brady’s disciplined approach was highlighted in the wake of his draft slide. The situation has sparked broader discussion about priorities and professionalism for young athletes entering the league. Despite the controversy, Sanders' talent and college achievements suggest he still has significant potential if he adapts to the demands of the NFL.
