Media overhyped him, creating a bogus narrative with insane expectations about where he would be drafted. To cover themselves after being exposed as frauds, they created a new narrative that he "fell" in the draft. Mel Kiper and the clown Prince himself, SAS, are worthless.
Eh - anyone who saw him play in college knows he's miles better than a Dillon Gabriel or Jalen Milroe, both on the field and as an NFL prospect. Those guys will never be NFL QB's. Sanders has NFL-starter potential and there's no on-the-field reason to draft those other guys before him. Especially in the 3rd round where you're making no long term commitment and can easily cut him. This is entirely an off-the-field issue for him. Arrogance, attention-seeker, crazy dad. Whatever it is, it's affecting everyone. The whole NY Giants cleats thing in December probably didn't help him, especially if the Sanders family was trying to manuever him to the Giants. When they picked Dart, that might have left him teamless.
SMH. The perfect example of hubris. "There are certain cities it ain't gonna happen...It's gonna be an Eli"
He continues to slide because nobody wants to deal with the accompanying circus for a backup QB. It's kind of similar to Colin Kaepernick. He was good enough to be in the league, just maybe not as a starter. But nobody wanted the media circus for a backup/borderline starter type guy.
Having the NCAA record for completion percentage while not having any pass protection at all has to mean something right? I guess the scouts just don't feel he is worth the stress.
I watched Shedeur a lot both of his years at CU. As an NFL prospect, I didn't think he was worthy of the first two rounds. However, based on media opinions, I expected some team to draft him very early and he would be a bust; probably ending up as a career backup. If I were an NFL team, I would have taken Jalen Milroe ahead him. Laugh if you want. What blew me away was Dillon Gabriel being selected by the Browns. UO is my 2nd favorite college team, I've also watched him a lot and honestly didn't even expect him to be drafted. Shedeur owes everything to his father, but in this draft process, Deion was Shedeur's worst enemy. When the stories started coming out about him bombing interviews during the combine, the media grossly miscalculated by ignoring them. Shedeur is not an elite NFL prospect and teams decided that drafting him as a backup was not worth bringing the circus to town.
Deione will be coaching in Cleveland in 2 yrs after 2 yrs of dragging them for not using his son correctly. Rocket River
He is an AVG QB who acts like he is Dan Marino, the baggage and attitude is off putting................but picking 2 QB`s was stupid. Dysfunction reeks with the Brownies..........I am sure he will get along with #4, same hubris
https://www.si.com/nfl/cris-carter-blasts-shedeur-sanders-for-costing-himself-millions As Shedeur Sanders stunningly plummeted down the 2025 NFL draft board, there was a belief among some pundits that the league had unfairly evaluated the former Colorado Buffaloes star. But Pro Football Hall of Famer Cris Carter disagrees. Carter believes Sanders cost himself millions and only has himself to blame for his fall to the fifth round of the NFL draft. “You’re going for a job interview,” Carter said during an episode of the Fully Loaded podcast that was released Monday. “So for his job interview, he was so concerned about what his outfit was, his necklace was over a hundred grand. Like, he hadn’t even convinced people that you’re the face of our franchise. “Matter of fact, he had convinced people that they were better off going in a different direction even with people who had lesser talent. That’s the rub he put onto people…He threw away at least 30 to 50 million dollars.” So, where does Carter think it all went wrong for Sanders? “…But Shedeur and his family, they overplayed their hand,” Carter said. “Them thinking that he was in the same evaluation mode as Eli Manning, they didn’t play that right. Them trying to narrow the teams that he was going to go to, that didn’t do right. “Not working out at the combine, that wasn’t the right thing. His interview process—obviously he could have done a lot better in that. A lot of people left that meeting and felt he was very, very entitled.”
Any news on investigations on the accusations of the Chiefs, Patriots, and Commanders violating the NFL's anti-tampering rules? I haven't heard anything.
This has all the earmarks of a stat focused evaluation using stats which do not reflect the overall effect on the team. It baseball, it would be focusing on BA to the exclusion of SO, DP, lack of BB, bad baserunning etc. It's like Tunsil on steroids.
