“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 after they have been on their technique to Florida,” Payton mentioned, via ESPN’s Jeff Legwold. “He’ll, like there will be this chip on his shoulder, and beware as a result of this man goes to play on this league.”

In fact, all of that’s straightforward 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 yr in the past.
It was not precisely gorgeous that Sanders fell out of the primary spherical after among the unflattering reports that surfaced about him in latest weeks. Virtually nobody anticipated him to stay on the board when Day 3 of the draft started, nonetheless.
