Shedeur Sanders had a tough transition to the NFL, but nothing stole the show, such as the support from the Sanders family. The former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has been making headlines since, and the conversation around his place in the Cleveland Browns remains ongoing.
Some may not feel the impact, but Sanders’ sister, Deiondra Sanders’, recent post shows hype is at an all-time high.
Deiondra Sanders Opens Up About Shedeur Sanders’ Hype
As Sanders continues to make headlines after being drafted by the Browns in the fifth round, his sister, Deiondra, took to social media to share just how often she sees updates about her brother’s NFL journey.
I get at least one news alert about Shedeur and the Browns on my phone every day.

She recently tweeted, “I get at least one news alert about Shedeur and the Browns on my phone every day.” That one sentence sums up just how much media attention Coach Prime’s son has been getting since draft day.
The buzz started during the 2025 NFL Draft. Many expected Sanders to go in the early rounds, but he unexpectedly slipped to the fifth round. His draft fall even caught the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump, who took to Truth Social to blast NFL owners for passing on an elite quarterback like him.
Interestingly, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt jokingly suggested that Trump’s endorsement might have nudged the Browns into drafting the former Colorado QB. Just like that, more notifications started popping up on everyone’s phones, including Deiondra.
When all these ongoing discussions led to a 40% boost in NFL Draft viewership, it’s safe to say most media outlets jumped aboard Sanders’ ordeal.
Recently, Coach Prime’s son took the spotlight once again after his rookie minicamp practice. He addressed the intense scrutiny, saying that “99% of discussions” about him were actually direct criticisms of his father, Deion Sanders. Fans took notice, with the rookie QB’s emotional response becoming yet another major headline.

As conversations about Sanders’ draft slide and his struggles for a starting spot in the Browns’ crowded quarterback room continue, it’s clear his story is far from over.
For now, Deiondra may be getting one alert daily, but when the regular season kicks off, she might want to keep her phone fully charged, much like other Sanders fans.
