Deion Sanders‘ tough love statement toward his former Jackson State wideout Malachi Wideman — who was eligible for the 2023 NFL Supplemental Draft on July 11 but, like Purdue product and fellow receiver Milton Wright, wasn’t drafted — turned out to be prophetic.
No players were selected in today’s NFL supplemental draft, per source.
That means the two players eligible, Jackson State WR Malachi Wideman and Purdue WR Milton Wright, are now free agents.

“Prime Time” called Wideman one of his favorites on Thee Pregame Show, but he also criticized his demeanor off the field — calling his lack of professionalism a reason why NFL franchises might not yet see him as a true professional just yet.
