The greatest quarterback of all time has a message for one of the NFL's newest QBs.
That's Tom Brady, yes, and in this case, it's words of wisdom for Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders, the Colorado legend, was a consensus first-round pick. He fell all the way to pick No. 144 in the fifth round to the Cleveland Browns.
Brady, famously, was the No. 199 overall pick in his draft, a sixth-rounder. And then he won seven Super Bowls.
The G.O.A.T. shared his thoughts on Logan Paul's podcast, saying that he texted Shedeur this:
“Day 2 matters more than the NFL Draft. I was 199. Who can speak on it better than me? Use it as motivation. You’re gonna get your chances. Go take advantage of it.”

That's the message that everyone supporting Sanders has shared. It just means a little more coming from Brady.
The best Sanders can do is put his head down, find an opportunity and then seize it.
Brady went from the sixth round to the top of his sport.

Sanders probably isn't Brady, no.
But he can still have a successful NFL career if he follows Brady's advice.
