Shedeur Sanders' Shocking NFL Draft Fall: Attitude or Ability?
2 Aug
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders fell to 5th round of 2025 NFL draft despite high expectations
- Reports claim he was "difficult to deal with" in pre-draft meetings
- Sanders impresses in Browns training camp, looks to prove his skills
In a surprising turn of events, Shedeur Sanders, who was widely expected to be a top-5 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, ended up falling all the way to the 5th round. According to reports, Sanders' attitude during pre-draft meetings with teams was a major factor in his draft slide, as he was described as "difficult to deal with."
The former University of Colorado Boulder standout, known for his record-breaking career, has always been unapologetically himself, refusing to "fake anything" or act differently for anyone. This unwavering approach, however, seems to have rubbed some teams the wrong way, with the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers all passing on him despite having uncertainties at the quarterback position.
Fortunately for Sanders, it appears his attitude may also be the one thing that could save him. In the past week, he has been impressive against the first-team defense in Browns training camp, looking primed to prove that his skills can do the talking. As the "Grown QB" continues to showcase his abilities, he will undoubtedly have the opportunity to silence his critics and make the most of his unexpected path to the NFL.
