Karoline Leavitt Credits Trump For Getting Shedeur Sanders Drafted

Karoline Leavitt Credits Trump For Getting Shedeur Sanders Drafted

The press secretary noted that the Cleveland Browns drafted the QB after the president put out a statement, saying, “the facts speak for themselves."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt found a new way to praise President Donald Trump on Monday ― by saying he might have helped Shedeur Sanders get selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft.

Although the Colorado quarterback and son of the school’s head coach, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was expected by many to be drafted in the first round on Thursday, he wasn’t picked until the draft’s fifth round on Saturday.

Some of the reasons bandied around for the draft drop included worries about Sanders’ arm strength, the 94 times he was sacked during his two years at Colorado and how his outspoken father might react publicly if he didn’t like how a team was developing his son.

However, Sanders was finally drafted by Cleveland, who made the move after Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Friday criticizing teams for not selecting the Colorado QB, and claiming Sanders’ “PHENOMENAL GENES” made him “all set for Greatness.”

On Monday, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy jokingly asked Leavitt if there was any connection between Trump’s post and Sanders’ eventual selection.
