Shedeur Sanders faces a harsh reality heading into the NFL draft

For the past few months, Colorado Buffaloes’ Shedeur Sanders has been touted as one of the top picks for the NFL draft. However, with the event just a few months away. Things might be changing, and some are warning that the player may not be what some teams are looking for.

If this is true, it would be a significant letdown for the young prospect, as the countdown has started and scouts are hard at work. Shedeur Sanders has already said he won’t attend the draft ceremony or the Combine.

Shedeur Sanders’ disappointment

According to ESPN Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., Shedeur Sanders might not have the qualities most teams are seeking. The expert believes that Deion Sanders’ son “is not the type of QB” that most teams need right now.

As if this wasn’t already a tough blow for Shedeur Sanders, the bad news doesn’t stop there. Rumor has it that an important NFL scout thinks Sanders’ value is far from the top draft pick.

In fact, according to this source, the young quarterback could be ranked between the 15th and 30th picks in the first round. “If his name were Shedeur Williams. We’d be having a totally different conversation”. An anonymous NFC executive stated, referring to Shedeur Sanders’ high-profile lineage, which might elevate his status.

A Divided opinion

It seems scouts are in a dilemma. Many are not entirely convinced about his attitude and abilities for NFL teams. Some compare Shedeur Sanders to the great Tom Brady, while others liken him more to Teddy Bridgewater—two very different players.

Moreover, some NFL franchises have raised concerns about Sanders. While his talent isn’t questioned, there’s some worry about his priorities and character.

Let’s remember that Shedeur released a song earlier this month and is interested in the music industry. This passion could detract from his professional future in the NFL, as teams want their quarterback to be a focused leader on the field.

There’s still some time before Shedeur Sanders’ future is decided. But for now, the Colorado quarterback is under intense scrutiny from everyone.
