Pro Football Hall of Famer and current collegiate head coach Deion Sanders didn’t mince words following the 2023 NFL Draft.
The former Jackson State coach tweeted Saturday that he was “ashamed” of 31 NFL teams after Isaiah Bolden was the lone player from an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) drafted over the three-day event in Kansas City.
Four HBCU players were selected in last year’s NFL draft.
Bolden, taken by the Patriots in the seventh round (245th overall) on Saturday, concurred with his former coach’s thoughts on Monday.
“Only time I’ll speak on this,” the Patriots cornerback and special-teamer tweeted.
