“Nothing really affected me in the last days,” Sanders told reporters on Saturday. “I am favored, I am blessed. Nothing is going to change. The love of the game remains the love of the game. When you get to the field, not much negativity is said. Take every season low at the same time and fix it.
“The main thing, I am only demonstrating: the coach (Kevin) Stefanski and (the general manager Andrew) Berry, who are right. That’s all. They are well choosing me. I am a good decision. I am a good draft choice for them, so that they are not,”

Now, Sanders is focused on doing his best work with the Browns and showing everyone the “true.”
“I know I’m going to fit perfectly,” Sanders said. “I feel that he is first entering, showing respect for veterinarians, showing them that I am here ready to work. Show the coaches and make them understand that I am here ready to work. Therefore, they could actually understand the real self. That is what I am really grateful to have, it is the opportunity for people to really see the real self and cannot see things that could be true or not.”

“My Bible says that God uses silly things to confuse the wise and he chose the weak things of the world that can embarrass the forts,” Sanders said in a publication about X. “Please, know that God has not done and God is really coming.
God was a common issue through the draft experience for the whole Sanders family. Sheeur and Deion express thanks to God in several publications on social networks without more context dose from Thorsday.

The other son of Dion, Deion Sanders Jr., published a frenzy of biblical verses in his X account, and then retweeted those same publications only a few hours later.
Dion has been a devout Christian through his football career, and his children leaned on that during the weekend during the unprecedented experience of Shedeur.
However, Shedeur is also different from deion in other ways, according to the general manager of the Browns, Andrew Berry.
“Shedeur is likely a bit opposite in terms of personality with his father,” Berry told journalists on Saturday. “A little quieter, a little more introverted, but we feel good with him as a person. He works hard. He is a really good child. Hey, he wants to be great. His teammates loved him in Colorado. And I know his dead to work and radi” ”

Several reports indicated that Sanders could have interviewed badly with multiple general NFL managers through the draft process. However, Berry de los Browns said his team’s interview was a “positive” experience.
Berry and Stefanski suggested that Sanders will compete for the position of the team holding field in 2025.
“We do not care once they enter the doors. He does not care about the first round, the selection of the seventh round, not recruited. Once you are here and you are in this football team, you are part of this culture, you are part of this family, and we will keep your head down and go to work.”
