Colorado football head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders sent a cryptic X post on Wednesday. 

Sanders' post comes just days after his son Shedeur shockingly fell to the 144th pick in the NFL Draft, in one of the most unprecedented slides in recent history. However, his post did not directly reference that topic. 

"I can do better, I know better, I was taught better, I've seen better and I'm definitely better! I'm also thankful for another opportunity to do what I'm blessed to do and I won't take it for granted. Lord Create in me a pure heart and renew the right spirit within me," Sanders wrote.

Sanders' post echoes a consistently Christian theme that the family has exuded throughout the situation. 

Shedeur himself thanked God in social media posts several times, from Thursday to Saturday, including two X posts that went live just minutes apart – before and after he was chosen by the Browns. 

Deion Sanders Jr. made five X posts citing Bible verses dating back to Thursday, and was frequently re-sharing them as his brother fell in the draft. 

Meanwhile, the father has turned to religion in previous difficult chapters in his life. 

Deion has said he devoted himself to Christianity shortly after his first divorce from ex-wife Carolyn Chambers in 1998. Sanders opened up about the experience during an interview on "Running Wild" with Bear Grylls in November 2023.

"That's when I went through my first divorce in which the only things that I knew that truly loved me were my two kids. Now they're gone, now they've been taken away. It was devastating, and I went through suicidal thoughts, a suicidal period," Sanders said. 

"I ran this car off the side of the highway, and, at the bottom, I thought this car would just flip, and it didn't flip. And I was still there. Shortly after that, I just had to come to the Lord with my hands up and say, 'I'm done. I can't do it anymore. You got me. I give up. God, you take me.'"

During an introductory press conference last year commemorating his position as new head at UC, Sanders praised God.

"Out of all the persons in the world, God chose me," Sanders said. "For that, I thank Him; for that, I love Him; for that, I magnify Him; for that, I glorify Him; for that, I praise Him; for that, I owe Him. Each and every day, I'm trying to please Him," 

Sanders has maintained his family's devotion to faith even amid pushback from external sources. 

He came under fire by an anti-religion group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), over his use of a team chaplain for Colorado this past season. Sanders had Pastor Dewey Smith pray over the football team after its win against Baylor University on Sept. 22.

The FFRF released a scathing four-page letter condemning Sanders, claiming that having Smith do the prayer counted as "unconstitutional religious activities," as he leads a football team at a public university. 

When Sanders became the head coach at Colorado in 2023, the FFRF raised concerns about his previous open display of faith with his team. This resulted in the university giving him additional training on the boundaries of religious expression in public institutions. The university revealed in a statement that Sanders had received training on nondiscrimination policies and establishment clause requirements after his hiring. 

But that hasn't changed him.

After Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, President Donald Trump plunged the situation into the political realm on Friday afternoon. 

Trump's Truth Social post calling NFL owners "stupid" for not drafting Sanders and calling for the quarterback to be "picked IMMEDIATELY" became one of the most unexpected moments of an unprecedented draft slide.

Sanders was ultimately not picked "IMMEDIATELY" as Trump ordered, as the quarter slipped out of the second and third rounds later on Friday night. Sanders did not end up getting taken until the fifth round on Saturday, with the 144th pick by the Cleveland Browns. 

Still, Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt took the liberty of crediting Trump's post for Sanders getting picked at all. 

"All I will say is the president put out a statement and a few rounds later he was drafted. So, I think the facts speak for themselves now," Leavitt told reporters on Monday. 

However, famed NFL agent Leigh Steinberg is not so quick to credit Trump for helping Sander get taken. 

"I would want to be, in a very divided country where there's extreme opinions on both sides of the spectrum, as a-political as possible," Steinberg told Fox News Digital about what his reaction would be if Trump called for one of his clients to be drafted.

Steinberg, who has represented a record-breaking eight players taken with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, does not believe that Trump's post had a big impact on the outcome of Sanders' draft. 

"I don't think so because teams are tightly focused in their war rooms across the country, and they know who they want, and I don't see a team downgrading him because of the involvement of a political figure," Steinberg said. 

Still, Steinberg believes that Trump's weighing in heightened the scope of the situation in terms of publicity. 

"It certainly did that because it involved the whole segment of the public that follows the president but might not have otherwise conscious of what was going on," Steinberg said. 

Additionally, with added attention may come an unexpected benefit to Sanders, even if it did not help his draft stock. 

Steinberg said that he believes that Trump's praise of the quarterback will ultimately enhance Sanders' reputational value and his marketability as an NFL pro going forward, now that he finally has a team. 

Sanders was once projected to contend for the top overall pick in the draft and potentially be presumed as a team's starter right away.

However, reports of Sanders interviewing poorly with teams and rumored character concerns emerged in the months and weeks leading up to the draft, and he ultimately suffered an unprecedented slide to the fifth round. 

Steinberg himself was surprised, as he expected Sanders to be picked in the second round. The agent, who has represented athletes for more than 50 years, says Sanders' draft slide was the most surprising draft slide that he has ever seen. 

"It's being played out by a national audience, and it distorts time because it seems like endless and the player's being rejected and rejected and rejected, and it's like a death by a thousand cuts," Steinberg said. "This is as precipitous a fall as I've seen in my 51 years." 

As a veteran agent with a history of getting quarterbacks drafted high, Steinberg believes there are certain things that Sanders could have done to help his draft stock in 2025. 

For one, Steinberg says the quarterback could have benefited from having an agent of his own, as Sanders opted to represent himself with his father and former college coach Deion Sanders. 

Had the family opted to go with an agent instead, then Steinberg expects they would have run an interview simulation with an NFL general manager before the NFL combine, as Steinberg did with many of his clients in the past. 

"We bring in a general manager who prepares a player for those one-on-one visits at the combine," Steinberg said. 

"The players are prepare for whatever questions are to be asked and the player advances the proper attitude, which is they need to be self-confident but not arrogant."

Steinberg also says he would tell a quarterback client to scale back on social media activity and attempt to gain publicity if he felt it had become too much, if he had such a client.

"Any sense that it would be a circus-like atmosphere for the team that drafted him would not be something they'd want for their culture," Steinberg said. 

"Deion Sanders is great, but if the way in which they used social media raised concerns that this would not be a low-key team player, humble player entering a team, that could have influenced someone." 

Still, Steinberg believes Sanders is still equipped to have a successful NFL career, and believes he can contend for the team's starting quarterback position as soon as his rookie year.
