The Bonkers Shadeur Sanders draft.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who finds Deion Sanders to be insufferable.

The guy was a legitimately phenomenal player. Easily one of the top CBs in NFL history - if not the top one. And his ability to play both football and baseball at the highest level was obviously rare.

But he’s one of the most obnoxious pro athletes of all time.

I don’t like him either. And one of my friends is a big Buffs fan so I try to keep my mouth shut.
 
Yeah, seems like somebody should have said, “slow down, hoss, this is not a good look and you’re making a fool of yourself.”
There were rumblings he was not doing well with the interviews. After the first round had gone by, both sanders and the brother doubled down on the nonsense. He should have immediately said on his social media “hell, my downward slide here was 100% on me. I was an ass during interviews— I need to apologize.” Or better yet, reach out to the GMs and coaches. Accountability matters to people spending millions on people.

Not to mention having to work with him. Changes your own job
 
I dunno man on one hand this kid grew up with one of the most overbearing self promoters in sports as his father and I imagine has had no shortage of sycophants telling him how great he is, which has likely been a primary influence in who he is and how he is perceived. He will likely be a circus and that will wear on on organization.

On the other hand, you have a talented QB with high end production who in 50 games threw for 14,300 yards, completed 70% of his 1800 attempts, 134 TDs to 27 INTs, another 17 rushing (though he is stricly a pocket passer). The tools are there if (a big if) he can be coached.

There certainly is very little risk for a team like the Browns to take a flyer on him (166th & 192nd picks). Considering what they gave up in draft capital and reputation to get serial happy ending chaser Deshaun Watson the Sanders pick was a PR coup.

I agree it was a good pick for them where they got him. If he’s so so and a headache, you just cut him.

But if they’d used a first or second rounder on him, that would hurt.

Mel Kiper, the guy who proclaimed Jimmy Clausen was the most accurate passer he’s ever seen and would be a decade long NFL starter is upset that people don’t share his evaluation of Shedeur as the best QB in the draft.
 
And NO ONE wants 20 calls a week from papa sanders demanding that his kid plays
Deion has set a meeting in Cleveland for next week to educate the Browns staff on how to build the offense around his son.

Shadeur is out buying watches

Shilo is busy moving his Benz around.
