Shedeur Sanders: The QB Spurned by the NFL?
NFL Draft Results: Shedeur Sanders Fails to Make 1st Round Cut
It's bitter truth time, folks. The once-beloved Colorado quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, is a hot mess, and teams are dodging him like a plague. And it's not just any teams - we're talking about powerhouses like the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and even the Los Angeles Rams, who cringed and walked away.
The ink on the NFL Draft contract wasn't even dry before the rumors started swirling. Sanders, slated as Cam Ward's number two, couldn't keep up, and it wasn't pretty. The Raiders made Ashton Jeanty their pick at six, while the Saints went with Kelvin Banks Jr. at nine, marking the definitive start of the Sanders fall.
The inescapable question hung in the air as the Steelers stepped up to pick at No. 21. But the heavens forbid, no trade-up, and the Steelers opted for Derrick Harmon instead. The Giants attempting a Hail Mary by trading back into the first round but snatched Jaxson Dart instead, quickly dousing any hope of a redemption.
Matthew Stafford's age issues didn't help Sanders much. The Rams decided to pass on any quarterback needs in the first round, leaving the poor boy high and dry.
Over the past week, Sanders has been the talk of the town. Coaches spilled the truth in interviews, describing him as prone to taking unnecessary sacks, poor timing, unprofessional body language, and trying to blame teammates. "He's so entitled, and he's not that good," one coach sneered.
However, Sanders was unfazed, exuding confidence on social media hours before the draft. "I'm built for whatever today may bring," he bragged, while the world watched his stock plummet.
So, where does this leave Sanders? The Browns, still in need of a quarterback, own the first pick of the second round, so he might not be out of the game just yet. But there's no denying it's a tough fall from grace.
- Despite Shedeur Sanders' promising football career, the NFL teams like the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Rams have shown reluctance, avoiding him like a plague.
