"The jersey, let's get into it, because obviously this ties into one Shedeur Sanders," McNutt said. 

Desbordes interrupted the host to correct her. 

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Desbordes said. "This is Barry Sanders." 

The jersey also had the No. 20 on the front. Quarterbacks are not allowed to wear No. 20 as a jersey number in the NFL. In college football, quarterbacks are technically allowed to wear No. 20, but still typically wear a number within the range of 1-19.  Sanders wears No. 12 in the NFL and wore No. 2 in college.

"But I think Caitlin represented, and, again, some of this to me probably is not fair to her because it was not anything that she said or was truly based on her personality, but she was a White girl from the middle of America. And, so, she represented a whole lot to a lot of people, whether that is truly what she prescribed to or not," McNutt said in March.

"We attach our fandom to these icons for all types of reasons, and sometimes they may not be based in truth."
