Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes and son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft, despite being a polarizing prospect with high expectations. Mock drafts had predicted Sanders would be picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they chose another player instead. Only Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart was selected as a quarterback in the first round.
Sanders was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in his senior year at Colorado, with impressive passing statistics. He began his collegiate career at Jackson State before transferring to Colorado, where he helped turn around the team’s performance.
Leading up to the draft, scouts and coaches raised concerns about Sanders’ attitude and performance on the field. Some described him as brash, arrogant, entitled, and blamed teammates for mistakes. Despite criticisms of his decision-making and arm strength, Sanders has shown accuracy, completing over 70% of his passes in college.
Sanders remains unfazed by the negativity surrounding him, stating that he doesn’t let it affect him and prefers to focus on the positive aspects of his career. He sees chaos as an opportunity to show who truly supports him and believes that his journey adds to his story. Despite not being chosen in the first round, Sanders remains optimistic about his future in the NFL.
