Deion Sanders’s Son Puts Roger Goodell’s NFL Into Questioning Over $316K CU Prodigy’s Unfair Treatment

A 6th all-time for FBS receptions in a career (ever) is super reliable. Stays healthy and available, gets separation and stays open. Has glue on his gloves, QBs look for him, speed, crisp precision route ability that makes DBs look stupid, speed and explosiveness with return ability. If you still think Deion Sanders Jr., the firstborn of Deion Sanders, is wrong for lashing out and holding the NFL accountable for their outrageous decision over this Colorado Buffs WR, who’s one of the best, you need a doctor.

Deion Sanders Jr., son of the legendary Deion Sanders, just like dad, isn’t one to keep silent about one of their own. This time he takes a shot directly at Roger Goodell’s NFL. He took to X with a pointed question that put Commissioner Goodell’s league on blast: “Where’s @la_wester Combine Invite @NFL?” The target of his outrage? Buffs Football’s finest wideout, LaJohntay Wester. If you’ve followed Coach Prime’s Buffs this season, you know Wester’s name. He transferred in from FAU, where he was a First-Team All-Conference honoree and the AAC Special Teams Player of the Year. His explosive talent quickly turned heads in Boulder, where he became one of the most reliable weapons in an offense that’s already loaded with firepower.

At 5’11”, 167 pounds, Wester might not fit the prototypical NFL WR mold, but his numbers obliterate any doubts about his ability. In 2024, he racked up 931 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, ranking just behind Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who put up 1,258 yards and 15 scores. Wester didn’t just thrive—he dominated, leading Coach Prime’s squad in several key offensive metrics while serving as a spark plug in crucial moments. He’s one of the best offensive players, just behind the best CFB player and didn’t even get an NFL Combine invite? Something doesn’t add up.

A snub so egregious it’s hard to explain. The Combine, long considered a critical step for draft prospects, serves as a platform for players to showcase their skills in front of scouts, GMs, and coaches. For someone like LJ Wester, who’s been described as “electric” on the field, the opportunity to run drills, show his explosiveness, and answer questions about his size should have been a no-brainer. Instead, the NFL’s decision to leave him out has drawn scrutiny, with Deion Sanders Jr.’s tweet amplifying the growing frustration.

It’s not just a numbers game, either. Wester’s story is a testament to perseverance and growth. Coming from Florida Atlantic, where he built a reputation as a game-changer in both receiving and special teams, his move to Colorado wasn’t just about elevating his profile; it was about proving he could excel on a bigger stage. And he did.

And Deion Sanders Jr. standing up for one of his layers is about fairness and accountability. Wester’s exclusion feels like a gut punch not just to him but to the Buffs’ program, which has worked tirelessly under Coach Prime to build a winning culture. The question lingers, and the NFL yet to respond only adds to the mystery.

Deion Sanders Jr. never the shy one to take a stand

The NFL Draft rumor mill is already heating up, even though we’re still four months out from the 2025 draft. And as usual, misinformation is making its rounds. On Monday, a fake account on X—formerly known as Twitter—decided to stir the pot with a rumor about potential No. 1 pick Shedeur Sanders. The post claimed that Shedeur had “no interest” in playing for the Cleveland Browns or Tennessee Titans.

This came from a notorious troll account, Wesley Steinberg, which is infamous for duping fans with fake news almost every weekend. But this time, the rumor hit close to home for the Sanders family. Shedeur’s brother, Deion Sanders Jr., wasted no time shutting it down. His response? A simple yet effective “Cap” punctuated with a hat emoji.

Translation? It’s all lies.
