Eric Dickerson Claim NFL Teams Were Told Not To Draft Shedeur Sanders Happened To Geno Smith
Yes, Eric Dickerson, the famed NFL Hall of Fame Running Back said that “NFL Teams Were Told Not To Draft Shedeur Sanders”. Now Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk says yes and no, but I say that it is true. Because it happened to Geno Smith at the 2013 NFL Draft in New York, and Zennie62Media was there.
This is from Pro Football Talk today August 22nd, 2025.
Eric Dickerson recently claimed that teams were told to not draft Sanders.
“I tell you this much, what I heard from someone that’s in the NFL, that the NFL told [teams] don’t draft him, do not draft him,” Dickerson said on the Roggin and Rodney Show, via Christian Arnold of the New York Post. “We’re going to make an example out of him. And this came from a very good source, a very good source.”
So was this a case of the Browns, who created a mess for the league by giving quarterback Deshaun Watson a fully-guaranteed contract, going rogue? Not as Dickerson tells it.
“I won’t say who — somebody called the Cleveland Browns and said, ‘Don’t do that, draft him,’” Dickerson said. “Because they weren’t going to draft him, either. . . .They were forced into drafting him, because somebody made a call to them.”
Dickerson explained that the original goal was to have Sanders not be drafted at all.
“He was not gonna get drafted, to basically show you this is what happens when you do this,” Dickerson said. “When I say it came from a good source, I say it came from a very, very good source.”
Is any of this plausible? At one level, no. At another level, maybe.
My, take here at Zennie62Media, inc is that something like that did happen. The NFL has a track record of making sure its member clubs follow an informal whisper policy. It happened to Geno Smith via his agents who hated that he fired them in the middle of the 2013 NFL Draft. They dropped bad news about him and then used their contacts in the NFL to cause him to drop to the second round of the NFL Draft.

Note from ZennieReport.com, Zennie62 YouTube, and ZennieReport.com: this ZennieReport video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”.
The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the ZennieReport.com Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for ZennieReport.com, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed.
The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
