The NFL -Quarterback view Shenchedeur Sanders is the biggest question that goes into Thursday’s NFL draft.
Sanders, who was once a candidate to be the top election of this year’s draft, was joined to fall on draft boards, according to several reports.

For ESPN -host Stephen A. Smith, the notion that Sanders, one of the top quarterbacks in college -football this year, could fall out of the first round, is “shaking.”
“I try to find out is what the hell is the precipitated drop about?” Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take” Thursday.
“We know this Brother can play. We know about wheher he doesn’t have the greatest engine or the greatest arm. The accuracy is there. The poise is there. The pedigree is there. We see all of these things along with his skill set and what he’s ables This guy is going to be a second-round pick.

Sanders led the BIG 12 conference with 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes and was named the big 12 offensive player of the year. In his 50 college games, Sanders threw 14,347 yards, 134 touchdowns and 27 interceptions.
He was expected to be one of the best players taken, and potentially the first player to be taken under and shortly after the college football season.
However, Sanders’ draft share has been in doubt in recent weeks in the midst of concern about his character.
An anonymous NFL coach recently told NFL network Sanders was “the worst formal interview I’ve ever been II my life.”
“He is so justified. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has terrible body language. He accuses teammates,” the coach continued. “But the biggest thing is that he is not so good.”
Another long -time AFC director repeated that mood and told the sales, “It did not go well in our interview. He will dictate what he will do and what is best for him. He makes you feel small.”

Sanders expressed confidence in a social media post a few hours before the draft Thursday.
“Legendary,” he posted on X on Thursday morning.
He added, “I’m built for what today may bring.”
