It’s not often the 144th overall pic is the largest story of the NFL draft.
However, Sheidiur Sanders did not have a normal 144th pick and his situation surpassed football. The narrative around the Sanders flashes lines between sports, race and culture.
The former Colorado Quarterback University was the center of the three -day Criminon, which will live in football for a long time. Sanders fell in the fifth round on Saturday from a potential top five overall elections on Thursday where its supporters were smiling and laughing detectors.
Cleveland Browns finally ended Sanders’ plight and ended with the election of 144, adding the 23 -year -old man into a quarterback room in a crowd that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Picket, colleague Ruki Dillon Gabriel and injured Deshhan Watson.
Gabriel went to the Tennessee Titans and five quarterbacks were selected in this year’s draft before Sanders, including the overall pick ward.
Sanders – Sons of Pro football Hall of Famer and Colorado Coach Dion Sanders – one of the biggest stories of college football in the last four years, first in Jackson State and then with buffalo. The quarterback drama on the field and occasionally brushes and stops the personality, making him one of the sporting lightning rods.
Below, the Associated Press examines some of the possible reasons for the free fall of the Sanders, using QB’s own words, his father’s comments, scholar’s analysis and performance in his field.
What Sanders said: “You understand, when that last name is on your back, you will be attacked and laughed,” said colorado coach Dion Sanders.
From Sheidiur Sanders: “I’m just going to be myself so you like it either or you don’t.”
What others said: Small Sanders took themselves with the highest confidence-in the decade of the 9th, the NFL and Major League did two sports as his father when they started sports. However, some scholars who cover the league (usually using anonymous sources) have said that Sanders’ confidence can disturb NFL staff, especially during the interview process in the league. Elder Sanders occasionally criticized his son’s talent on social media.
“All these issues started to be added to the teams, and I am not saying that it has been added to the parties, but it has clearly added to the teams. … It is clearly that he and his parties cannot move forward for him and any other person after him,” NFL analyst Jonathan Jones says for CBS. “
What Sanders did: Small Sanders could be brushes-he established a customized room for the draft night-but he maintained a 3.9 GPA in Colorado and was never involved in any off-field incident that would indicate serious character concerns.
Reading in lines: Jean Kenyatta Cavill, an interim Dean of Education and Sports Studies at Texas Southern University, says Pushback was not surprising to Sanders.
Cavill said that Dion and Shediur Sanders did a significant job in controlling the career of the youngest Sanders from Jackson State to Colorado from a private high school. This is proved as a problem.
Cavill said, “This is unique in this duality, do you have a coach and son, which for a while, who can control the space,” he later added: “They had the ability to convert places that allow them to be unique and pure self, which is not always acceptable in the social structure.”
What his supporters said: “This is a person who is very accurate.
What others said: The main criticism against Sanders’ football skills is that he takes a lot of sacks, not too much athletic and has no great arm power. There was an opportunity to solve these anxiety during the pre-aging process but did not always take the opportunity to work for scouts.
“The player who had different questions about the talent level, how he would fit in an NFL system, how he would adjust his game style in college, but for the first time his father, there was an opportunity to take Sanders Sanders,” said that Sheder Sanders could take the NFL network. “He thought he was an elite division, where he could choose the few groups he would like to go to.”
What Sanders did: Sanders College had a productive four seasons and his career ended with 50 games in four seas – two in Jackson State and two Colorado. He completed more than 70% of his passes, with 14,353 yards and with 2744 Touchdown with 27 intersection. He was in eighth place in the last year’s Hijman Trophy vote and won the award by teammate Travis Hunter. Hunter was drafted with the overall selection of second number by Jacksonville Jaguars.
Reading in lines: It is not unusual to ignore a good college quarterback, even with great figures, because of anxiety from size to speed because of anxiety. Famously, the seven-time super-Baul-winning quarterback Tom Brady selected the 199th overall from Michigan before starting one of the most successful career in NFL history in 2000. However, none of these ignored quarterbacks could cross the football world like Shedur Sanders during his college career.
What Shadiur Sanders said: Even after the embarrassing draft free fall – it included an orchestrated call by the Atlanta Falcons coach and President Donald Trump’s son – the Sanders NFL will have the opportunity to prove his worth. His first opportunity is with the Brown, who have added multiple quarterbacks to offseason in trying to find long -term solutions.
Sanders said, “I am truly grateful, people are actually able to see me the real chance and things that may or may not be true,” Sanders said.
What others said: Browns’s general manager Andrew Berry traded Sanders in the land after reading the fifth round, and any possible problem seems to be worth the risk.
“We have felt that he is a good, view of the most important position in the most important position.
Reading in lines: Cavill – Texas Southern Interim Dean – He said that he hopes the news cycle will move quickly and some of the Sanders will recover until the brown training camp starts in the summer. In the meantime, the quarterback draft will be published more about the free Falls. What is actually important is how he proceeded from this point.
Cavill said, “For a year from now, for the rest of his career, the success he has, or not, people will come back to this stage,” said Cavill. “It would be the story of all these obstacles or to overcome someone that couldn’t do it.”
