The former Pittsburgh steelers, Merril Hoge, was ahead of most experts with his criticism of SheDer Sanders and his prediction for the future of the NFL of the ancient quarter of Colorado.
Sanders was to be selected as high as No. 2 in total in the NFL draft, but its epic fall in the fifth round has become the conference of the event. The Cleveland Browns finally made the decision to write it even after choosing the quarter-Arrière Dillon Gabriel earlier.

Hoge shared his opinion on Sanders a few days before the start of the project in an interview with WDVE in Pittsburgh.
“I think the best way to summarize it is that it’s a very good university quarter,” said Hoge. “Its precision is good, its treatment is good. And when I say, I use a scale of 1 to 10, so good is around a five most important aspects of the transition to the National Football League, and then you build from there.
In addition, Hoge challenged the allegedly inflated figures from Sanders. The Buffaloese star has the record of all time FBS for the percentage of completion at 71.8%, but Hoge rejected this while Sanders threw a lot of bubble screens.

He did not think that the use of these types of parts would translate into the NFL. He said the teams will seek the skills that guys like Joe Burrow, CJ Stroud and Jayden Daniels have.
“He is not even close, he is not even in the stadium. … There is a certain tenacity for him that I like, but how he moves, he is not going to scare no one,” said Hoge, adding that the teams should be wary of Sanders able to manage expectations that are accompanied by being a first -round choice.
“He cannot manage the expectations that arise,” he added. “He’s going to be an epic failure, and he will make your organization back up two or three years.”
These expectations were a little calmed down once he fell in the fifth round. However, Sanders is able to win the departure position in the Car Camp, it is not put in stone that Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco will be QB1 once the season at the start.
Gabriel is the leader of all time in the pass at the FBS level, but even was chosen late in the draft.
