Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic autumn On day 3 of the fans of the NFL fans, analysts and some managers and general coaches.
Sanders was considered a general selection among the top five after finishing his career in Colorado, but he was not even among the first five selected quarters.
He slid to the fifth round without any obvious explanation, leaving everyone to speculate on his deficiencies and question whether his Fame Dad Deion Sanders room somehow scared the teams.
Shedeur Sanders was never involved in incidents outside the countryside, but his character was assaulted by several media that cited sources not identified in the weeks prior to the Draft.
An anonymous assistant coach in a NFL network report labeled it “titled” and said that Sanders “had the worst formal interview” in which he had been involved during his career. That coach also said that Sanders blamed teammates and had “horrible body language.”
The Cleveland Browns ended up taking Sanders with selection 144 after they thought they were considering it in number 2 in general. The Browns even selected Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in the third round at number 94, but then moved in the draft to hook Sanders a selection before the philadelphia eagles were on the clock.
Although the Eagles have a QB franchise in the MVP of the Super Bowl Jalen Hurts, the general manager of the Browns, Andrew Berry, worked in Philadelphia with General Manager Howie Roseman and knows that he is not afraid of taking the best player available on the board.
This is how Hurts ended in the Eagles in 2020 when Carson Wentz was already there. That does not mean that Philly pointed to Sanders, but Cleveland had waited enough.
“We feel it was a good and solid perspective in the most important position,” said Berry. “We feel that it reached a point where it probably had an incorrect price in relation to the draft. The acquisition cost was quite light, and it is a guy that we believe can exceed its draft slot.
“I think, obviously, Shedeur has grown in the center of attention, but our expectation is for him to come here and work and compete. Nothing has been promised. Nothing will be given.”
Sanders, who played for his father at the university, said all the right things after he was finally selected.
“Nothing really affected me in the last days, it just pushed to have faith, understanding that God really had me,” Sanders said. “I am blessed. In addition to that, it is really nothing that changes. The love of the game is still the same. When you get to the field, it was not too negativity.
Three team officials told the AP on Friday that they had first round qualifications in Sanders. Another team executive said he gave him a second round qualification. The four had an initial QB. The Broncos coach Sean Payton, and the head of the Patriots staff, Eliot Wolf, said it was “surprising” to see Sanders fall so far.
Payton observed his professional day and said that Sanders was “outstanding.” The general of the Titans, Mike Borgonzi, praised him. So did the Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, although Pittsburgh passed it and ended with Will Howard in the sixth round.
So what caused the unprecedented slide of Sanders?
The blows against Sanders’ football skills are that it takes too many catches, it is not Atlético enough and does not have a great strength of the arm.
Louis Riddick, an ESPN analyst who was director of Professional Personnel with Philadelphia and Washington, described that “absurd”.
“It is a personal discussion. It is whether the teams feel comfortable or not with everything that comes with Shedeur in terms of who is as a person, all the people around him in terms of his intimate circle and if the teams consider or not something that they feel comfortable,” said Riddick in Saturday’s transmission. “Good or bad, that is the only conclusion that you can reach at this point because, obviously, it is a subjective argument about what their real physical skills are in the football field.
“But I think that if you are trying to be objective, and eliminate everything else that surrounds this young man and everything that comes with him, he can play the football game. This is an extremely precise guy. It is extremely mobile. He has a lot Saying, that is, what you see, since it is what you see, since it says, that is, that is a case, since it is what it is what it says, that is, what is what is what is what it is what it says, that is, what you want, what you want, that is, what you want, that is, that is, that is, that They have nothing to do with anything in the football field and is caught in the rest, you can begin to bias their judgment on what this young man really contributes in terms of value. “
Sanders, like his father “Prime Time”, oozes confidence that can be misunderstood as arrogance. He probably earned more money with null offers at the university than in his rookie contract. His flash and style could rub some people, perhaps coaches attending the old school, in the wrong way.
But many athletes trust, limiting arrogance. Cam Ward, the general selection number 1, turned to Tennessee’s coaching staff after an impressive launch in his professional day and said: “I am solidifying.”
Other players have had more controlling parents. Archie Manning forced the Chargers to exchange Eli Manning to the giants in 2004. John Elway refused to play for Colts in 1983.
Mel Kiper of ESPN, who covered his 42nd NFL Draft, had Sanders as the best field marshal on his board. He was “disgusted” for the free fall and stripped Sanders several times.
“I think there is a lot of perspective that is not reality in regards to Shedeur and Deion,” Kiper said.
Like him or not, Sanders will have the opportunity to demonstrate that critics and those who doubt mistake in the NFL.
