Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft, despite being a polarizing prospect predicted to land with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ultimately, Oregon’s Derrick Harmon and Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart were the only quarterbacks taken in the first round after the first overall pick, Cam Ward. Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in his senior year at Colorado, where he helped lead the team to their most wins in a season since 2016.
Sanders started his collegiate career at Jackson State before transferring to Colorado when his father became the head coach there. Scouts and coaches have raised concerns about Sanders’ attitude and performance on the field, with some criticizing his arm strength, decision-making, and tendency to take unnecessary sacks. Despite the criticism, Sanders remains focused on staying positive and not letting negativity affect him.
Sanders expressed his acceptance of the challenges and chaos surrounding him, stating that he embraces it as it adds to his story. He remains confident in his abilities and unfazed by the opinions of others. Despite not being selected in the first round, Sanders remains optimistic about the future and determined to prove his doubters wrong.
