The NFL is being sued for a whopping $100 million over Shedeur Sanders’ slide in last month’s draft, though they should not be too worried.
Shedeur was projected as a top-five pick ahead of the selection process but was not invited to the first round and ended up sliding all the way to the fifth. As a result, Dr. Umar Johnson has urged his father, Deion Sanders, to sue the league.
While Coach Prime is unlikely to do so, one Georgia resident has moved forward with his own lawsuit.
According to The Independent, the unidentified man has filed a suit against the NFL for “emotional distress.” He claims it was extremely frustrating to have to watch less-talented quarterbacks get picked ahead of the former Colorado star, and he wants to get paid for it.
“This guy was projected to be the first or second pick, no later than the top five, and to watch mediocre players be chosen before him… it was frustrating,” the individual, referred to as John Doe in the suit, told the outlet.
