Sheder Sanders underwent one of the most spectacular draft slides of any quarter-back perspective in recent history Thursday evening.
Sanders, who was screened by some to be the n ° 1 choice with this year’s draft after the university football season, fell completely outside the first round and was not drafted on the second day.
The former star of the University of Colorado admitted that he and his family “did not expect” what happened Thursday evening, in images published by his brother Deion Sanders Jr. However, the quarterrier seems to keep a positive attitude and expects to be drafted on Friday.
“We did not all expect, of course, but I have the impression with God, everything that is possible, everything possible. I do not have the impression that it happened for no reason. All this is, of course, fuel for fire. In any case, we all knew that it was going to happen, but we understand that we on bigger and better things,” said quarterrière.
“Tomorrow is the day. We are going to be happy despite everything. Legendary.”

However, the Quarterrière hinted that he might not be chosen in the first round earlier Thursday. A few hours before the project, Sanders made a publication on social networks by insisting that he was prepared for everything that happened in the first round.
“I am built for everything that can bring today,” he wrote.
What the day brought was a surprising slide for Sanders and a breach to his expectations of his father and the university coach.
The temple of renown of the NFL and chief coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders, previously insisted on the fact that Sheder would be a choice among the first five when he entered the draft in a post X in May 2024. This post received a community note Thursday after Sheder slipped.
Two other quarters were taken in the first round while Sheder was waiting to hear his name called. The Titans of Tennessee took the former quarter-arre of Miami, Cam Ward with the first global choice, and the Giants of New York are back in the first round to n ° 25 to take the old quarter of Ole Miss Jaxson Dart.
Several other teams needed at the quarter-Arrière, including the Browns of Cleveland, the New Orleans and the Pittsburgh Steelers, also transmitted Sanders.

This happened despite the fact that Sanders led the Big 12 conference with 4,134 yards by the pass and 37 Touché passes and was appointed offensive player of the Big 12 year in his 50 university games, Sanders launched 14,347 yards, 134 affected and 27 interceptions.
But its value is questioned in a few weeks preceding the draft among the concerns concerning his character.
An anonymous NFL coach recently declared that NFL network That Sanders was “the worst official interview in which I have never been in my life”.
“He is so right. He takes unnecessary bags. He never plays in time. He has horrible body language. He blames his teammates,” continued the coach. “But the biggest thing is that it is not so good.”

Another long -standing leader of the AFC has echoed this feeling, saying at the point of sale: “It did not go well in our interview. He wants to dictate what he is going to do and what is best for him. He makes you feel little.”
These concerns and criticisms have wreaked havoc on the quarter’s recovery stock because he will now have to be content to hear his name on the second day, at the earliest.
