Shedeur Sanders’ status became less clear as the draft approached, but a fall from the top 102 picks turned this slide into a free fall.
He will enter the draft’s final day still available.

Jets who really wants to go there
Saints need to rebuild Seattle rebuild but will never be where they were
Carolina and Titans no need to mention only god can help them
Patriots will see but I don’t think they will be anything
And everyone of these teams passed on Sanders. Question which one will try to grab Sanders after their QB goes down by week 6?? Sanders is good enough to play in NFL. With no line He scrambled more which caused turn
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING A QB ITS PERSONAL NFL IS A MAN GAME BE THEN BE A MAN ABOUT IT AND SAY REAL REASON WHY YOU DONT WANT SANDERS. Tebow blackballed by Denver Elway Kapp took a knee
Now Sanders…
To summarize a great article:
1)Only 3 teams truly needed a QB
2)The Sanders brand is too big for a backup QB
3)Inconsistent pre-draft interviews
I'm a soccer fan. But if this saga has me interested then the media hype did it's job :) Last year he was pegged QB4/5.

He didn’t participate in the combine, he and his dad had a list of teams he WON’t play for, and he’s just overall not that great.
Without Travis Hunter, Sanders was/is a mediocre talent.
Sanders is a smaller, less talented version of Anthony Richardson and NFL teams aren’t interested. Full stop.

Maybe, just maybe his size & lack of speed @QB (however fitting at the college level) is unattractive to pro teams needing to address other positions.
Parental hype is no substitute for talent.
This kid doesn’t have a bad attitude. He’s never been in any trouble, on or off the field.
Also didn’t Favre stole from Medicaid yet he’s still respected in the NFL.
But a black guy kneels and 😐..ok
Famous white nfl player, he’d definitely be labeled as confident not cocky 😑
It’s total bs.
He is young .. but he is black so I guess immaturity doesn’t qualify for him..😐

A black qb was taken with the #1 pick.
Sanders is a spoiled rich kid flake who *already* got the NIH money, and lost his drive (never had it).
If he was white he would have been selected already. Cocky white dudes see seen as impressive - a kid of color “oh no”
Race truly is an issue here
He's a confident young man who believes in himself. I've watched every post game press conference he had on YouTube. Win or lose, he was humble, gave credit to his teammates when they won, and took the blame when they lost. And he's very talented.
Why is his confidence so triggering to some people?
at the end of the day, I cannot tell you what reason all those GM's and owners have for passing on him.
Not what you want in a starting QB
If you've got Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels type talent? Teams will overlook this stuff. He simply isn't good enough to be an asshole. He miscalculated that.
Fwiw, Caleb Williams also made money signs and lived in a LA penthouse. This isn't about him being a rich, cocky black man.
It's about him not being good enough to be an asshole
He's an asshole and not noticeably better than the 2 guys taken after him.
Were the people saying Shadeur was a top 50 player in the draft horrobly wrong?
Has a player this highly projected draft wise ever dropped this much?
Drake London got suspended for a year for placing bets on games he wasn't playing in. Watson sexually asaults 30+ women and gets the biggest contract ever.
The other 2 taken are backups. Nobody wants a backup QB who draws all the attention.
Genuine question I hadnt seen a Big Board that didnt have Shadeur as Top 3 QB.
Your QB is more than just your QB. They're the face of your organization, they speak at events. You have to love their personality
It’s not right, but my guess is that’s exactly why it happens.
Shedeur never even won a CFP game…
Trump as fecal midas is undefeated
4-5 inches too short or the NFL. Sanders has always had a team built around him and he has a privileged attitude that puts him off with most people. Probably looking at an average 2nd tier career. 4th rounder w/o the last name.
