Sheduer Sanders Upset Some NFL Team Owners

Last week at the NFL combine top prospect, Sheduer Sanders, went viral after warning NFL team owners not to draft him if they don't want their program changed [click here if you missed that]. 

Now insiders claim Sheduer's bold declaration is rubbing some owners the wrong way...

From The NY Post

Shedeur Sanders considers himself a program changer.

And that apparently turned off some NFL teams.

NFL Network insider Peter Schrager revealed that Sanders — the son of Colorado coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders — irked some franchises with those remarks during the combine.

“His point at the combine, and it rubbed people wrong, the way he had some bravado at it, is that he changes places when he gets there,” Schrager said on the “Bill Simmons Podcast” on Tuesday. “So Jackson State, obviously, went from this HBCU that had no resources to suddenly being a national name. And then he goes to Colorado and we had one week where ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ from Fox and ‘GameDay’ were there, Week 2, vying for real estate in Boulder. It happens.

“Shedeur has never wavered that he’s a leader and those guys do respect him.”

Sanders has come under the microscope leading into this year’s draft, where he’s hoping to be a top selection and possibly even No. 1.

The combine provided an opportunity for Sanders to meet with teams and also answer reporters’ questions.

He displayed an unwavering confidence that he expects he will galvanize his next team.

That those remarks did not land with some teams come as multiple unflattering reports emerged in recent days regarding Sanders’ demeanor during the combine.

Veteran NFL reporter Josina Anderson said a quarterbacks coach from a team drafting in the first seven slots said Sanders came across “brash” and “arrogant.”

The “brash” and “arrogant” accusations carried a little different weight when NBC fantasy football expert Matthew Berry reported similar sentiments from two individuals from two different teams.

“They both said it was a bad meeting and that he came off as unprofessional and disinterested,” Berry wrote Tuesday. “Both also said that after the meeting they had a lesser opinion of him than prior. These same people both met with (Miami quarterback) Cam Ward as well, and both said they loved Ward, and it was a great meeting.

“When talking about the projected top two QB picks this year, every team I spoke to loves Ward. And I didn’t hear a ton of positive about Sanders.”
