… Press Sec. Jokes

Shedeur Sanders would still be without an NFL home if it weren’t for President Donald Trump‘s NFL draft temper tantrum — at least that’s what the White House press secretary joked on Monday … saying, “The facts speak for themselves.”
No. 45-47 was FURIOUS after Day 1 of the annual draft … claiming anyone who passed on the former Colorado quarterback was “STUPID” not to take him, as his Hall of Famer pops did a great job raising him.

When Karoline Leavitt was asked about whether Trump’s Truth Social outrage ultimately led to Sanders going No. 144 overall to the Cleveland Browns more than a day later, she said the proof is in the pudding.
“All I will say is the President put out a statement, and a few rounds later he was drafted,” Leavitt said with a smile. “So, I think the facts speak for themselves on that one.”
Obviously, the interaction was for some giggles … but it wouldn’t be surprising if Trump felt his influence helped speed up the process — after all, Sanders made it all the way until Day 3 before having his name called.
As for Sanders, he seems happy to be in the NFL … even though he’s moving to Cleveland.
