00:00it's interesting talking about the draft,

00:03trying to prepare for it,

00:04and the reality is at 29, nobody knows.

00:09I want Mike L. Williams.

00:11The odds are he's not going to be there,

00:12but I think he'd be just so good.

00:15I don't think they're in a position to move up for somebody.

00:18I think you take the best at 29,

00:20or you just trade back, honestly.

00:23I think draft conversations are awesome,

00:29but they're going to be driven by what's happening at the top,

00:33what's happening with Shador.

00:34One thing I find interesting,

00:37I saw this, Schefter retweeted this.

00:43Kalen Kaler, hopefully I'm saying her name correct.

00:46Kalen Kaler is a really talented writer at ESPN, right?

00:50ESPN.com.

00:52I want to read this story and then ask a question.

00:59As Deion's son, Shador Sanders enters the NFL with a perspective and profile

01:04different from any quarterback prospect before him,

01:07inside his unique draft process and the questions he's faced.

01:12Now, some of this,

01:14we live in an era where everything that's about to happen

01:18is the most important thing that's ever happened, right?

01:21What I've learned in my 43 years on this planet,

01:26every presidential election I've been alive for

01:28is the most important presidential election in history, right?

01:32Because everybody just always looks ahead.

01:34Nobody ever looks back.

01:35And so I'm trying to distance myself from like this type of perspective.

01:42I get it's different because Deion's his coach.

01:47But like when Eli Manning came into the league

01:50and Archie was like,

01:52yo, he's not playing for the Chargers.

01:54Like we,

01:55John Elway,

01:56who I believe his dad was his coach,

01:58right?

01:58At Stanford.

01:59I think I could be,

02:03I could be wrong.

02:03I thought Jack Elway coached John Elway in some capacity

02:06and they,

02:08they said,

02:09we're not going to the Colts.

02:10We're going to go play.

02:12We're going to go play baseball.

02:13Like I understand that

02:16this is significantly different

02:19because of social media

02:20and like the eyeballs attached to it.

02:24And it's,

02:25it just seems weird in that no team is like,

02:29best I can tell.

02:30They haven't at least publicly said no to any organization,

02:33but like Deion's been clear.

02:35There's some places I don't want to go,

02:37whatever,

02:37but this isn't that out of the ordinary

02:40for really high level quarterback prospects.

02:42It is that.

02:43I'll do ordinary Jay.

02:44Why?

02:45And we don't want to face this.

02:47Deion Sanders is an African-American man

02:48and people may not want to hear,

02:49but it's facts.

02:51African-American men have never told nobody

02:53where they're going and where they're not going,

02:55going to the NFL.
