A number of groups handed on Shedeur Sanders a number of occasions in the course of the first three rounds of the NFL Draft, and Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton thinks that was a mistake.
After the third spherical of the draft concluded on Friday night time with out Sanders being chosen, Payton issued a warning to his NFL rivals. The previous Tremendous Bowl champion had excessive reward for Sanders and mentioned groups that handed on the quarterback ought to “beware.”
“I noticed [Shedeur] when he was in junior excessive, after which I noticed him in highschool, after which I noticed him when he was a sophomore in highschool once they have been on their method to Florida,” Payton mentioned, by way of ESPN’s Jeff Legwold. “He will, like there will be this chip on his shoulder, and beware as a result of this man goes to play on this league.”
Payton was among the many coaches, scouts and executives who attended Sanders’ professional day at Colorado earlier this month. He thought Sanders seemed “excellent” and known as it “shocking” that so many groups have considerations concerning the former Buffaloes star.
In fact, all of that’s simple for Payton to say. The Broncos seem to have their quarterback of the long run in Bo Nix, whom they drafted with the twelfth general choose a 12 months in the past.
It was not precisely gorgeous that Sanders fell out of the primary spherical after a few of the unflattering reviews that surfaced about him in latest weeks. Virtually nobody anticipated him to stay on the board when Day 3 of the draft started, nevertheless.
As Payton mentioned, Sanders ought to have a chip on his shoulder when his NFL profession begins. He could have loads of doubters to show incorrect, and each group he performs towards will probably be one which determined he was not value drafting.
