After it was realized on the NFL Scouting Mix that Miami’s Cam Ward is the “consensus” No. 1 quarterback on this yr’s draft class forward of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, some wondered if sure NFL head coaches had been merely nervous they might ultimately “be supplanted by” Colorado head coach Deion Sanders in the event that they drafted Deion’s son.
Throughout a latest look on “The Dan Patrick Present,” former NFL participant/government and present ESPN analyst Louis Riddick touched up whether or not Deion’s persona is impacting opinions of Shedeur.
“Deion is a lightning rod,” Riddick mentioned, as shared by Stephen Douglas of Sports activities Illustrated. “That is the place it begins. It does not even begin with Shedeur. This begins along with his father and it trickles all the way down to him. And it begins along with his father. It has been that means since I performed with Deion again in 1992 in Atlanta. Individuals don’t love flashy guys like that who can again it up. They simply do not. They do not like people who find themselves robust, assured.”
Shedeur Sanders’ alleged draft inventory might be the NFL’s largest story when the precise player-selection course of opens on the evening of April 24. Again on March 6, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler predicted that Shedeur may fall to the draft’s twenty first decide earlier than he is taken by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nonetheless, ESPN’s Field Yates thought as not too long ago as this previous Monday that the New York Giants would not let Shedeur get previous them at decide No. 3.
Shedeur Sanders reportedly “hit the fallacious notes in mix interviews” with some unnamed groups that now do not view him as a first-round prospect. Riddick famous that Shedeur seemingly is following in his father’s footsteps.
“With Deion,” Riddick continued, “he is all the time been a polarizing participant to the individuals who do not know him. If him personally, you’ll be like, ‘I get it and I like it. Give me extra of it.’ With Shedeur, he has a few of his father in him. How may he not? He is the person’s son. So quite a lot of it comes from who he’s and what his final identify is.”
As of the second Wednesday of March, it seems that Shedeur Sanders most likely will not be the primary quarterback drafted this spring. One wonders how far he’ll drop on April 24 if the Cleveland Browns at decide No. 2 and Giants at No. 3 go in several instructions.
