Potential Alternative Pro Football Path for Shedeur Sanders Excluding NFL
Under the radar, Shedeur Sanders could have a non-NFL football opportunity on his hands.
Sanders finds himself on the Toronto Argonauts' radar in the Canadian Football League (CFL), as per TSN's Dave Naylor. Placing Sanders on their negotiation list means that if Sanders decides to play north of the border, the Argonauts would have the first crack at signing him.
Sanders was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th pick in the recent draft, after a shocking plummet out of the first round and languishing on the draft board until the very end. Deion Sanders, his legendary father who coached Shedeur during his college career, has yet to show any signs of wanting to cross borders.
The Browns haven't stopped there, adding another QB prospect to their roster. They also drafted Dillon Gabriel in the third round. A crowded quarterback room with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson (injured), Sanders, and Gabriel awaits in Cleveland.
The fall of Sanders from potential top-five pick to a fifth-round selection has left NFL fans and pundits divided. Assessments of his character, along with Deion's involvement in his draft preparation, seem to have played a role in his descent.
However, the Browns aren't new to their draft picks ending up in the CFL. After selecting Johnny Manziel in the first round in 2014, Manziel eventually signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats following two years in the NFL.
Time will only tell if we'll see Sanders taking the field for the Argonauts or fighting for a spot in the Browns' backfield. Sit tight and enjoy the unpredictable NFL drama that unfolds! What do you all think? Sound off with your thoughts!
