Skip Bayless fires back in lengthy 25-minute rant, calls Tom Brady out on his bullsh*t denial of Shedeur Sanders’ draft impact

Things just got wild between Skip Bayless and Tom Brady. After Shedeur Sanders slid down to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bayless jumped in with a bold accusation: Brady, part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, had played a role in preventing the team from selecting Sanders earlier. In response, Brady denied any involvement, calling out the media for spreading “false” claims.That’s when Bayless went full scorched earth in a fiery 25-minute rant that’s now taking over social media.In a response video posted on May 9, 2025, Bayless went hard after Brady, accusing the NFL legend of lying. According to Bayless, Brady has had a long history of mentoring Shedeur and knows his game better than anyone. Skip claims that the Raiders, who desperately needed a quarterback before signing Geno Smith, must have consulted Brady for his opinion on Sanders.“Tom Brady has called me out. I guess he’s called me a liar. So I’m about to call BS on Tom Brady, because Tom, you know and I know everything I said about you and Shedeur Sanders is obviously exactly right,” Bayless fired back.Bayless insists it would be foolish for the Raiders not to ask Brady for input, given his direct involvement with Sanders’ development throughout high school and college. This caused quite the stir as the two big names clashed over their roles in the draft drama.Tom Brady, never one to shy away from confrontation, quickly addressed the accusations. He denied any part in the Raiders’ decision-making process and defended himself by claiming that the media were just “making up stories” without any solid proof. According to Brady, the whole situation was exaggerated, and he had nothing to do with Shedeur’s draft position.This back-and-forth, which has been heating up on social media, marks the latest chapter in a feud that began with the unexpected slide of Shedeur Sanders.While Skip Bayless focuses on Brady’s involvement, the truth is, Shedeur’s fall in the draft had more factors at play than one person’s influence. After a highly successful college career at Colorado, Shedeur was passed on by 31 other teams before the Cleveland Browns selected him 144th overall.It’s worth noting that the Raiders weren’t the only team that could’ve used a young QB but they chose not to. The Steelers, for example, had their eyes on other players, and even the New York Giants passed on Shedeur, opting for Jaxson Dart instead.As the Bayless-Brady feud rages on, all eyes will be on Shedeur Sanders during the 2025 season. Now that he’s officially drafted, he’ll have the chance to prove all the doubters wrong and show he belongs in the NFL. The drama around his draft slip might be far from over, but Shedeur is focused on what really matters: his career.Also read - LeBron James shows love to Shedeur Sanders after Browns minicamp debut with emotional IG Story
