Thursday night should be a party for the Sanders family if everything goes according to plan.
Shedeur Sanders, at one point over the next 24 hours, will hear his name called in Green Bay and he will be an NFL quarterback.
Months ago, he was 1b to Cam Ward’s 1A, but in recent days his stock appears to have fallen and there is some doubt as to whether he will even be a first round.

In the days that led to the draft, reports have not been friendly to shooting watch, with an assistant coach who said his interview with Shedeur was one of the “worst” he has ever had, adding, “he is not so good.”
This quote was one of several that got the former NFL player and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark to call “personal” media coverage of whatur on X, and Sanders’ father, Deion, repositioned it.
“The anonymous quotes that have circulated are mostly negative. Which is weird,” Clark wrote. “A young man who has never been in trouble never involved in an off-field event, and quarterbacked two universities for a resurgence has 0 behind the scenes qualities? There have been other quarterbacks with true problems that have not been exposed to this kind of prior tug.
“If he falls out of the first round because Execs & Coaches don’t think he has the physical tools, it’s fair … but let’s stop with the anonymous, uncontrolled personal attacks because they bring people to your side.”

Clark’s colleague, Dan Orlovsky, highlighted acting that would “be a reason why” Sanders could fall into the draft that “he will have to work on in [the] Nfl. “
An X user replied to Orlovsky and said he “turned into a hate.”
Deion Sanders shared this post and replied, “Yes, he did! Wow.”

There was once a time when sheds watch was considered for # 1 choice, but Ward has separated from the package.
Sanders threw in 4,314 yards and 37 touchdowns with 10 interceptions last season, which helped lead The buffaloes to a 9-4 record and a bowl game look. In his 50 college games, Sanders threw 14,347 yards and 134 touchdowns with 27 shields.
