ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller shed light over former Colorado Buffaloes Star’s Fall. He pointed out how Sanders and his camp had handled the entire draft of the process.
“I didn’t think they handled the process well,” he told terrible advertising. “And it’s not just the rear view.
“He was going to throw on the NFL Scouting Combine. He should have worked on the east-west sanctuary for which he accepted an invitation. NFL has this new rule that if you accept an invitation to an all-star game, you had to attend. And he did not. So I said on TV that they did not handle the process well. And I thought it would hurt him.”
Miller still thought that Sanders was “overrated as a player.”

“I had a lot of messages. I had a lot of answers to the video ESPN that was exposed to say that. So I think … he was overrated as a player? Yes, based on the talents and tools he has as a player, he was not a top two or three player in this draft of class,” he said. “But then you come to the process part of it. And the NFL will humiliate anyone.
“How the NFL looks at you and evaluates you, they will humiliate any player. So I think, for the Sanders camp, they had this view of sliders as a lock two or three drafts. And they approached the process that way. There was never anyone from the outside who could get through for him and say, ‘wait a moment, he is not guaranteed to be a two or three draft of election.’ And the fact that you are approaching the process of that way is to hurt him.
Sanders will have the ability to prove everyone wrong with browns.
