ESPN’s Marcus Spears wasn’t exactly thrilled about Colorado football coach Deion Sanders’s controversial comments about his recruiting style during a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer shared that when he looks for quarterbacks, he looks for athletes with a “3.5 GPA and up” as well as “dual-parent” households. “[The quarterback] has to be a leader of men,” Sanders said.
However, when it comes to Sanders’s perspective on defensive linemen, things are different. Sanders said that his D-linemen should come from single-parent homes and receive “free lunch.” “I’m talking about just trying to make it,” Sanders said. “He’s trying to rescue momma. Like, momma barely made the flight.”
