A lot of people have taken to television and social media to offer advice or messages to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Today, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders decided to weigh in.
Taking to Twitter, Sanders retweeted Jackson’s recent message that admonished people for doubting his desire to play. Sanders said in his message that Jackson doesn’t need to explain himself to anyone and that he believes in him fully.
“Stop explaining Yourself to fools and allow fools to be fools. A brother trying that’s strong, believes in himself and willing to stand for what he believes will always be misunderstood & judged by fools of all ethnicities. Love ya my brother and “I Believe in You” !” Sanders wrote.
Sanders’ tweet is going viral with over 1.1 million views, 8,500 likes and 1,500 retweets since this morning. Many are advising Sanders to try and talk to Jackson personally about his situation.

“Talk to him Prime. This young man needs guidance top five quarterback in this league with hardly no endorsements. He needs an agent,” one user replied.
“Maybe he should hire Coach Prime as his agent? Because this is what a agent would be telling him…” wrote another.
“Yup. Mentorship from Coach Prime. Go Buffs!” a third wrote.
Tuning out the noise is definitely great advice no matter who it’s coming from. Will Lamar Jackson take it to heart?
