Meanwhile, we take a closer look at Shedeur Sanders' tumultuous journey during this year's NFL Draft.
The NFL draft drama surrounding Shedeur Sanders has begun to settle down after being dominated by controversy. The son of the infamous Pro Football Hall of Famer, Deion Sanders, was projected to be a first-round pick but ended up being selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.
Coach Sanders hasn't openly discussed his thoughts on his son's draft slide, but he did share a cryptic message on social media, implying that the truth often goes unnoticed in the face of lies:
speculations on why Sanders fell from the first round ranged from racial bias to a form of collusion similar to that experienced by Colin Kaepernick. Several NFL players expressed their beliefs on the matter.

Woody's analogy highlights the NFL's primary focus on winners and the fact that Sanders, despite his talent, wasn't perceived as a franchise quarterback. Many analysts point to factors such as poor pre-draft interviews, perceived arrogance, and concerns about off-field distractions as contributing to Sanders' slide.
