A number of groups handed on Shedeur Sanders a number of instances 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 evening 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 had been on their solution 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.”
The Cleveland Browns finally chosen Sanders on Saturday with the No. 144 general decide.
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 referred to as it “shocking” that so many groups have considerations concerning the former Buffaloes star.
After all, all of that’s simple for Payton to say. The Broncos seem to have their quarterback of the longer term in Bo Nix, whom they drafted with the twelfth general decide 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 current weeks. Nearly 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 in opposition to might be one which determined he was not value drafting.
