For whatever reason when the same exact thing happened to Cooper DeJean, the whole world wasn't up in arms like this:

So much for PII security. The NFL should be fining these coaches. You have no right to leave work materials available to your kids. It's a basic breach of trust.

Just wait it'll be all over the sports shows in the morning as a heinous crime that should involve jail time or some xxxx. People get so emotional, but only when it fits their agenda. Kids, I'm sure have been getting prank called on draft day since the beginning of time. Just because Sanders fell and everyone thinks there was collusion against him, they'll point to this as an example.

In all fairness, the kids could have just opened their parents phone or tablet when they weren't looking. Yes it is on the parent at the end of the day, but it could have been harmless on their part.

In my business, if someone without official clearance accesses your work computer, you risk losing your security clearance. But we live in a clown show world where top government officials text classified information to their friends and family, so I guess anything goes.

Good point. If the US Presidential cabinet member who literally runs the Pentagon is able to keep his job despite having a Signal text chat with a non security-cleared reporter about future US combat plans, then it's hard to be overly harsh with an NFL coach for his kid stumbling on his IPad which had Shedeur's number on it.

Regardless, I do think that J-Clay's point is valid, which is that it is a double standard to flip out about this happening to Shedeur but not care at all that the same thing happened to Cooper DeJean. Which appears to be an accurate description of how the media has handled each of these incidents on a relative basis.

Happened to McCord too.

Not sure the two situations are similar.  The profile of Shedeur Sanders draft status as the worst fall in draft history makes his situation a lot more painful/high profile for sure.  It doesn't shock me that there's more attention paid to him being pranked than Cooper Dejean....

In other words, the other pranks were in bad taste (I am not into pranks, so I think most are in poor taste)

With Sanders, the crushing fall combined with the public humiliation took the prank to the rubbing salt in the wound level.

Shilo Sanders seemingly learned a valuable lesson from his brother Shedeur's NFL draft slide: maybe his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was not the best agent.

While hosting a Twitch livestream on Saturday during the 2025 NFL Draft, Shilo Sanders told his viewers that – after starting the draft process with his dad representing him – he had signed with an agent.

"Dad was our agent," Sanders said, referring to his brother Shedeur and himself, "but that hasn't been working out too good. So today I had to sign with an agent."

Something I caught that I think is being missed.  During one of the post-selection press conferences, they Daboll was asked about the report that his meeting with Sanders went poorly.  He did not flat out deny it. What he said was he had good productive meetings with all the QBs.  But, "productive" means different things to different people.  The purpose from the team's standpoint is to gain as much information about the player as they can.  Well, the meeting may have been productive for Daboll as it made him realize Sanders was NOT the guy he wanted.  They may have continued to spend time with him with the thought that Sanders may convince them otherwise and was unable to do so.  Same for the other teams.  Think ultimately it came down to Pittsburgh-Cleveland and they played a game of chicken with Cleveland finally saying, lets take him.  As the Giants, Saints took other QBs they both had to think that neither was taking a QB.  When Cleveland took Gabriel, Pitt like figured they could wait and possibly get him with their last pick.  Finally, Cleveland said let's take him before the Steelers do and double-dip at the position.

To expand on this, Chase said on the podcast that agents have data on what types of interviews each coach is going to give.  So that gives a prospect help in preparing
