Former NFL star Antonio Brown is once again at the center of controversy, this time targeting rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders—just days after the young athlete was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns . Known for his volatile presence on and off the field, Brown took to social media to take an unfiltered jab at Sanders , raising eyebrows across the league.
Antonio Brown takes aim at Shedeur Sanders in explicit post
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Antonio Brown retweeted a video showing Shedeur Sanders visiting student-athletes at John Marshall High School in Cleveland. The footage highlighted Sanders engaging with the local community during his first week in the city. But Brown chose to criticize rather than celebrate the moment.
"Now he sucking d**k where the cockiness 5th round na now this the type shit they have u do when u go 5th round," Brown wrote, mocking Sanders’ fall in the draft and his outreach efforts. The comment quickly ignited debate among fans and analysts alike, with many questioning the appropriateness and intent behind Brown’s words.
From draft-day disappointment to community leadership
Despite the harsh commentary, Shedeur Sanders appears undeterred. The former Colorado standout and son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders has embraced his new role in Cleveland, pledging to make a positive impact both on and off the field.
"I'll be more involved in the community and really leading the kids in the right direction," Sanders said following his draft selection at No. 144 overall.
Once projected by some analysts as a first-round pick, Sanders experienced a notable slide during the draft. Reports from outlets including The New York Times suggested concerns about his arrogance in team interviews, a playing style that lacks rhythm, and merely average physical traits contributed to his lower selection.
The Browns’ quarterback situation now includes five players, after also drafting Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel in the third round. Sanders enters a competitive environment where playing time won’t come easy—but his focus appears to be on growth, humility, and leadership.
