“Sue the NFL for racial discrimination”: Deion Sanders pressured to to sue NFL for $40 million over Shedeur Sanders’ shocking draft fall

Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic plunge in the 2025 NFL Draft is still sending shockwaves through the sports world — and now, some are demanding legal consequences. Once projected as a top-five pick, the Colorado quarterback dropped all the way to the fifth round, a fall that not only shocked fans but also left millions on the table. Many believe the slide wasn’t just surprising — it was calculated, and possibly discriminatory.

Enter Dr. Umar Johnson. The outspoken psychologist and social commentator has now called for Shedeur’s father, Deion Sanders, to take serious action. In a passionate video shared by The Art of Dialogue, Dr. Umar declared, “I stand in solidarity with the Sanders family over this because this is wrong… I’m hoping that Deion and Shedeur will sue the NFL for racial discrimination and collusion against Shedeur on draft day.”
He continued, emphasizing the potential legal and moral victory, saying, “If he sues and wins, he will get all of the 40-plus million dollars they robbed from him on draft day. And he can change the rules to make sure this never happens again.”


While some write off Shedeur’s draft tumble as the result of poor interviews or skipping the Combine, Dr. Umar sees a deeper, systemic issue. He doesn’t believe Deion Sanders needs to be another Muhammad Ali or Colin Kaepernick — but he believes this moment demands more than silence. “Do not let this go, Deion. Do not let this go, Shedeur,” he urged.
The outspoken critic added that what happened wasn’t just a snub — it was “unacceptable.” For many, his words echo growing concerns that Shedeur’s association with his bold, unapologetic father may have cost him not just prestige, but tens of millions in guaranteed money.
Still, critics argue Shedeur played a role in his slide. Reports from CBS Sports say he gave lackluster interviews, skipped the Combine, and rubbed executives the wrong way. “He did not give it his all,” said Jonathan Jones. Others whispered about his lack of an agent — with Deion acting as his representative — and wondered if teams were wary of dealing with the “Prime Time” spotlight.

Whether it's entitlement or unfair treatment, the backlash is real. The question now is whether the Sanders family will stay quiet — or make history in court.
