Deion Sanders After No HBCU Players Drafted: 'Our Kids Are Being Neglected'

NFL Hall of Famer and for Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders vented his frustrations on Instagram Monday when no players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities were selected in this year's NFL draft.

"And we have the audacity to hate on one another while our kids are neglected and rejected," Sanders wrote in the post. "I witnessed a multitude of kids that we played against that were more than qualified to be drafted. My prayers are that this won’t ever happen again.
