Eric Jackson has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the NFL, claiming severe emotional distress over Shedeur Sanders’ unexpected drop to the fifth round of the NFL draft. As a passionate NFL fan and consumer, Jackson feels deeply connected to players and expresses that Sanders' draft experience impacted him personally, triggering feelings of anger and frustration. He describes needing therapy after the event and believes that his consumer protection rights are violated by the way the NFL operates, prompting him to seek legal recourse for his emotional trauma.
"I was a consumer of the NFL product... And I am protected under U.S. law as a consumer."
"I was triggered... I was emotionally disturbed given the fact that you had a guy that was projected to go first round..."
"To see how they were personally [treated during] the draft process... it was just debilitating to the point to where I had to address it in one of my therapy sessions."
"The experience gave me a feeling of helplessness, until I realized I might actually be able to do something about it."
