Shedeur Sanders has made the AFC Pro Bowl after recording one of the worst rookie seasons in the NFL.

Fans and experts are enraged over this. His father and NFL legend, Deion Sanders, did not react directly to this news, but he did make a tweet that felt related to that.

"Take advantage of that Opportunity that's lingering around! You are a game changer a go-getter, a mover & a shaker. It has to be GO for you. What's the hesitation, what's the question & what's wrong! Nothing! Get yo b**** in the game & win, let's go baby. #CoachPrime"

The fans also saw this as an indirect motivation for Sanders, and they did not back down from criticism. Many have accused the father-son duo of nepotism, saying things like, "Your son didn't deserve it, he was the worst QB in the league, he got in on your name."

But Shedeur Sanders was not the first choice; it was Drake Maye. But since the New England Patriots are going to the Super Bowl, he is not available. And other QBs like Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and others were also unable to play due to injuries or other reasons.

Regardless of that, the fans believe that Sanders did not deserve to be a part of the Pro Bowl after the performance he has put in this season, and they have criticised the father-son duo heavily.

Many fans have rained down on the duo, accusing them of nepotism. One said, "Even better if your dad is deon so you can go to a pro bowl throwing 7tds and 10 ints. Forgot the part of having a “famous” daddy."

Another comment read, "Congratulations I’m sure your very proud of your exceptional skills being represented and rewarded with bronny type nepotism 🫡🎯".

Deion Sanders needs no introduction. He is an 8-time Pro Bowler, a Hall of famer and 2 time NFL champion. Fans are accusing him of using the position he has built in favour of Shedeur Sanders.

One fan also said, "Grats. You all scammed a college team, now you are scamming the NFL. The browns do deserve it though!" He might have been angry with Deion because of how the Colorado Buffaloes played this season, finishing with a 1-8 record in BIG 12. Deion Sanders is the head coach of the team.

Another fan was polite but critical. They commented, "hello sir and what do you think about your son's pro bowl do you think he earned it and what did he do he's a great person but why him not some other guy I don't agree with it there are ton's you told people that were hall of famers this they be confused"

Shedeur Sanders had a passer rating of 68.1 with 1,400 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 8 games this season. He completed 56.6% of his passes and also ran for 169 yards and one rushing touchdown. Do you think he deserved to be in the Pro Bowl?
