Deion Sanders says he’s "ashamed" for 31 of the 32 NFL teams after just one player from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) was selected during the 2023 NFL draft over the weekend.
The New England Patriots used the No. 245 pick in the seventh round to draft defensive back Isaiah Bolden, who played for Sanders at Jackson State until Sanders bolted to become Colorado’s new coach earlier this year.
"I'm ashamed of the 31 other @nfl teams that couldn't find draft value in ALL of the talented HBCU players," Sanders wrote on Twitter after the draft was completed Saturday night.
