The 2025 NFL Draft is about to start Thursday evening in Inexperienced Bay, Wisconsin, as all 32 groups will look to make the strikes that take them to the Tremendous Bowl subsequent yr. By far, essentially the most polarizing prospect in the whole draft is Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders is projected by some to go as excessive as the highest 5, and as little as within the mid-second spherical, as groups have broadly completely different grades on him and it’ll finally come right down to how determined somebody is to get a quarterback. However, a current report that quoted an NFL assistant coach that was completely trashing him isn’t gonna assist his trigger.
Sanders, the son of Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer and present Colorado coach Deion Sanders, put up gaudy numbers the final two years in Boulder after shifting together with his dad from Jackson State to Colorado. His proponents would say that his accuracy, playmaking abilities, timing, and persistence within the pocket will make him a franchise quarterback. His detractors would say that he has no elite instruments, holds on to the ball too lengthy, and has severe character considerations.
These character considerations, in line with NFL.com insider Tom Pelissero, have been echoed by an assistant coach just lately.
One longtime NFL assistant coach stated his time with Sanders was “the worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life. He’s so entitled. He takes pointless sacks. He by no means performs on time. He has horrible physique language. He blames teammates. … However the largest factor is, he’s not that good.”
A crew government echoed the same sentiment.
Stated one longtime AFC government: “It didn’t go nice in our interview. He needs to dictate what he’s going to do and what’s finest for him. He makes you’re feeling small.”
Shedeur Sanders undoubtedly has his followers, as Pelissero seen that Charles Davis and Tom Pelissero are each excessive on him. However, it looks as if loads of groups are actually frightened about his character.
