“All I need is an option,” he said. “Simple. Whatever franchise will change their franchise, there is no doubt who to go with. I’ve done it again and again. So you would be a fool not to choose me.
“What is the most important feature of a quarterback? … Consistency? Look at the last four years. That’s how I know I’m the best quarterback in the draft …. What controls all boxes? It leads to a guy.”

In Pakinomist Digital’s first mock draft, Sanders was scheduled to go # 2 to New York Giants. But the Colorado stand out could be selected by any team in the top 10.
Giants are among the teams that have a quarterback conundrum. The team signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on contracts during the high season, but has no real long -term plan on the position.
Sanders could go as high as No. 1 if Tennessee Titans decides to pass on Cam Ward or even potentially fall to New Orleans Saints at No. 9.

Sanders is ready to be a star in the game. The son of Deion Sanders had 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes in his last year in Colorado.
