One topic of discussion was Shedeur Sanders, a football player who previously played for Jackson State Tigers and Colorado Buffaloes. He had previously dropped to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, which saw the Cleveland Browns pick him up at No. 144 overall.

Meanwhile, as noted by The New York Post, Shedeur’s brother Shilo also signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. Both are the sons of Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders.

Strahan recently talked about Shedeur dropping to the fifth round on Good Morning America. “I don’t think this kid definitely should have dropped to the fifth round.”

Strahan Also Mentioned Another Football Legend & Shared What They Had To Say

“If there’s a good quarterback, people want a good quarterback. You’ve watched so many quarterbacks who have no amount of production like he had. And it’s about numbers when it comes to quarterbacks.”

Strahan then name-dropped former professional football quarterback Tom Brady and shared his thoughts on the story. As he shared, “I spent with Tom Brady this past weekend and we watched the draft and as Tom said he’s an example. It doesn’t matter where you’re picked.”

Earlier in the episode, it was shared that Shedeur was the subject of a prank phone call in which it initially seemed like he was being invited onto a team. However, “But you’re going to have to wait a little longer, man. Sorry about that.” In a clip seen, a stunned Sanders asked, “What does that mean?”

Jax Ulbrich, the son of Falcons coach, Jeff Ulbrich, later apologized for the incident on Instagram. As he wrote, “On Friday night I made a tremendous mistake. Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful.”

“I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish. I could never imagine getting ready to celebrate one of the greatest moments of your life and I made a terrible mistake and messed with that moment. Thank you for accepting my call earlier today, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”
