Amidst much controversy during this year’s NFL draft, Shedeur Sanders was finally selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, thus giving him the opportunity to start his career in the NFL. Throughout the offseason, Sanders has been the target of negative publicity, hampering his image and causing an unprecedented slide during the NFL<\/a> draft. <\/p>

Having said that, Sanders has quietly gone to work with the Browns and will now look to prove all his doubters wrong as he faces an uphill challenge of becoming Cleveland’s starting quarterback. Thrown into a roster that has four other signal callers, Sanders<\/a> has his work cut out for him on the field, but life off the field continues to be another struggle for the former Colorado Buffaloes’ star as he remains a constant figure of public hate. <\/p>

Shedeur Sanders Opens Up About the Hate He Receives<\/h2>

Speaking to Cleveland.com, Sanders opened up about the hatred directed his way. Acknowledging the negativity around him from the media and fans alike, the 23-year-old believes that he is on the receiving end of such scrutiny because of who his father is. <\/p>

Shedeur is the son of legendary former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders, also known as ‘Prime Time’, who has always been a polarizing figure in the NFL community. Sanders’ senior was one of the best defenders to ever step on the football field, but his way of life doesn’t suit everyone’s taste, and that, according to Shedeur is the root cause behind him being so hated. <\/p>

Shedeur feels that most of the younger generation have never seen his father play, but their opinions are influenced by what the older generations think of his father. <\/p>

“Ninety-nine percent of hatred (directed at me) is toward Pops. And then I’m just his son. … But (the kids) didn’t grow up in an era to where they watched him play … It‘s just the older generation that does it to me rather than the younger people. Because when I come in person, there’s no negativity I see. But it‘s all over online.”<\/strong><\/p>
