Deion Sanders made headlines on Monday when he called out NFL team personnel who missed Jackson State University’s pro day.
The Hall of Fame corner gave a shoutout to the 24 teams who sent out scouts in attendance at the pro day, but condemned the other teams who did not show.
Among teams that were not present were the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, and the Minnesota Vikings.
“You could have sent somebody. You could have shown up just a little bit,” Sanders said, as he voiced his frustration.

Sanders’ Instagram post follows another NFL call-out comment he made last year, when he shed light on the fact there wasn’t a single HBCU player drafted.
Jackson State linebacker James Houston IV, who finished second in FCS with 16.5 sacks last season, was among the standout players to watch.
The 2x Super Bowl champ has reiterated his case for demanding the NFL to properly evaluate more HBCU players that deserve attention just like any other college player being scouted.
