Scout confirms rumors on Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders’ meetings with Giants, Raiders, Saints

Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders had one of the worst NFL draft lead-ups in the event’s history, causing his stock to fall further than any supposed “first-round talent” has ever seen.

One scout confirmed everything that’s been said about Sanders’ meetings with the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, and any other team that met with him and passed on him in the draft’s first four rounds.

“Shedeur Sanders is a very polarizing guy. We didn’t like his attitude and how he handled the draft process. He wasn’t prepared. He mailed it in at every step. He didn’t take it seriously enough,” the anonymous scout allegedly told Athlon Sports.

Reports from Sanders’ meeting with Giants head coach Brian Daboll and his staff certainly lend to the scout’s intel.

“The Giants one … they give players an install, and there are mistakes intentionally put in the install. He didn’t catch them and got called on it, and it didn’t go well after that … He was pissed that they did that to him,” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said on “Zolak and Bertrand” on 98.5 The Sports Hub.

“He throws a bad interception. It was a deep throw early in the game,” Breer said. “They go in the meeting, they show the interception and they say, ‘What happened here?’ (Sanders responds,) ‘Well, I like to get into a rhythm earlier in the game.’

“They get into it over that, and his conclusion is, ‘Well, maybe I’m not a fit for you…’ The person who told me that story was like, ‘I’ve never heard that before.’ It was in a combine interview when you’re just going from team to team trying to put your best foot forward.”

It’s hard not to believe negative intel about Shedeur’s meetings, considering the results.

Players who were seen as less talented, like Ole Miss’s Jaxson Dart, Louisville’s Tyler Shough, and even Sanders’ Browns teammate, Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel, were picked before the “Grown QB.”

Sanders screwed up before the draft, and he’s screwed up a couple times off the field since.

If he continues to, he won’t have the home that Cleveland gave him after seeing him as a pure dice roll.
