WOW… JUST WOW!!!
Saw this article and thought I would share it. I was never going to draft him because I despise his father and am sure the apple didn’t fall far from the tree
Shedeur Sanders tanked the pre-draft process
Shedeur Sanders reportedly struggled with offensive concepts during the pre-draft process.
In a pretty stunning piece in Sports Illustrated, Sanders is described as a player who failed to catch planted mistakes and even went as far as challenging some team personnel in film sessions when shown his own mistakes by saying maybe he just wasn’t “the right fit” for them. It’s a pretty stunning report and could shine some light on why he fell all the way to the fifth round. In short, it really does sound like teams looked at him as a player with average-to-good physical traits, but also one who takes too many sacks and most importantly, came off as entitled. In short, the baggage was too heavy for the NFL to invest much in. Sanders will have a chance to compete and make the roster as a fifth rounder, but nothing is guaranteed. He’s gone from an intriguing prospect to a late round flier in rookie drafts, though he’ll be overdrafted everywhere based on dynasty managers likely thinking they know more than the NFL. We likely don’t.
