"Everybody's been talking about Shedeur Sanders and all that went down over the last couple [of] days," Cosby said during his sermon. "Because everybody thought, including the Sanders family, that he was going to be first-round draft pick, but he was fifth round on the third day. Y'all know something about the third day, don't you?

"I don't want to talk about why it was. It could have been racism, could have been nepotism, they didn't like his daddy, they ain't like him. I don't know what it was. But he got picked up by the Browns yesterday, and you want to know what his tweet was as soon as he got picked up? He didn't fuss about what happened on day one. He didn't grumble and complain about day two. He said on day three, 'Thank you, God.'"
