Deion Sanders: I'm Ashamed of NFL Teams as Isaiah Bolden Is Only HBCU Player Drafted

Deion Sanders wishes the NFL saw as much talent in HBCUs as he does.

The former Jackson State coach, who exited for Colorado this offseason, called out the NFL for only drafting one HBCU player during the 2023 draft.

COACH PRIME @DeionSanders

So proud is you <a href="https://twitter.com/isaiahbolden23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@isaiahbolden23</a> You deserved to be drafted much higher but I'm truly proud of u. I know how much u want this. I'm ashamed of the 31 other <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nfl</a> teams that couldn't find draft value in ALL of the talented HBCU players &amp; we had 3 more draft worthy players at JSU.
