Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes and son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft. Despite being a polarizing prospect, mock drafts had predicted Sanders would be chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they opted for Derrick Harmon instead. Only one other quarterback, Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss, was chosen in the first round after the No. 1 overall pick. Sanders, who was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, had a successful senior season with Colorado before entering the draft.
Sanders began his college career at Jackson State before following his father to Colorado. He helped turn the Buffaloes’ program around, winning nine games in his second season compared to just one before his arrival. Scouts and coaches had mixed opinions of Sanders, with some criticizing his on-field performance and attitude. Despite the criticism, Sanders remains positive and unfazed by the negativity. He has been praised for his accuracy but criticized for his decision-making and lack of arm strength.
Sanders remains confident and believes that the challenges he faces will only add to his story. He is focused on staying positive and ignoring the negativity that comes his way. Despite not being selected in the first round, he is ready to face whatever challenges come his way in the NFL and prove his critics wrong.
