    "Well, we have different attributes. Smart, tough, fast, disciplined with character. Now, quarterbacks are different," Sanders told Eisen last week. "We want mother, father. Dual parent. We want that kid to be 3.5 [GPA] and up. Because he has to be smart. Not bad decisions off the field, at all. Because he has to be a leader of men.

    "Defensive linemen is totally opposite. Single mama, trying to get it, he’s on free lunch," Sanders continued. "I’m talking about just trying to make it. He’s trying to rescue mama. Like mama barely made the flight. And I want him to just go get it.


    "It’s a whole different attribute that you look for in different positions. And we have that stuff just chronicled. We know what we want, and we go get it."

    He would’ve made a great QB is the takeaway.

    Never heard of Deion until last month. Dude is a motivational beast. Sucks to see him suffer with his health conditions and we're not going to make him controversial

    The more he talks
    The Less impressed I am

    It's the same coded language we have heard forever
    The reason why various groups who are more "URBAN" don't make good Quarterbacks
    Because Good Quarterbacks should be more "SURBURB" types

    F*ck you "prime"

    I wouldn't put too much into this....

    There are 2 different Deon's...

    1. Deion behind the mic... The salesman and entertainer... How he makes his money
    2. Deion not behind the mic... Very quiet, keeps to himself.. Totally different person.

    Sorry late to this thread. I think single parent household is a loaded term when it comes to blacks. For instance, Deion is talking about black recruits and single mothers.

    That's all I have to say. I don't know why Sanders said this. It seems like he was intentionally trying to be provocative. I'm sure if the number one qb recruit was black from a single parent home Deion would still be all over him.
