So Sanders not getting drafted through 3 rounds is clearly collision right?

I could at least see a slight argument that he didn't go round 1 but noting getting picked tonight is entirely inexplicable for any reason other than colliusion imo

Is this the league trying to teach Deion a lesson? Or what's going on?

I don't think this is explainable in any way other than teams have just banded together to decide they're not going to draft him for some reason.

You could argue Ward and Dart staff of him ( although Dart requires some mental acrobatics to get there ) but multiple other guys getting picked today at QB is just insanity

Definitely collision. All 32 teams collectively slammed their heads together, got concussed, and forgot Shedeur Sanders was in the draft

Sanders is reported as being an arrogant ass in all interviews, did 0 testing pre draft like he thought he was untouchable, and used his clout to get a bunch of underqualified teammates into yje shrine bowl, then showed up in sweat pants and did not play.

This is absolutely the league telling him to go fuck himself.

Or....all the talking heads crying about Sanders dropping don't have the first clue as where the actual team had Sanders graded. If they had him graded a 3rd or 4th round talent and then he bombed him interviews, he would be a day 3 pick. It is what it is

Sanders is an asshole who needs to grow up. It’s not collusion, it’s a petty league. With that being said, these teams look incredibly unserious about winning when they draft guys like Gabriel and Shough with day 2 picks.

Heard a few hours ago that Rick Neuheisel said that Sanders went to an interview with an NFL head coach, and during the interview got a face time call ( didn't say who with} but he never turned it off during the interview and was talking to that other person while the interview proceeded. I'm not saying teams are colluding to teach him a lesson but to me it sounds like this information was passed along and it didn't sit well with other coaches. Someone will take him but not till it's just a bargain and he's been humiliated. My take.

There is not collusion as the title should read.

Look, teams want to win above all else. If a team felt Sanders could help them do that, he would’ve been selected by now.

Here’s the thing: Talent alone will not make you a successful NFL player. You have to have the right attitude and character as well in order to be successful ( especially at the QB position).

The draft history is littered with talented QB’s that were unsuccessful in the NFL because their attitude/character was bad.

Jamarcus Russell
Manziel
And more.

Talent alone isn’t enough. You have to have it between the ears as well, and that’s what Sanders lacks at this moment.

Time will tell if he learns from this and overcomes it and is successful.

Ha ha ha.

The NFL is a multi-billion $ business in which players and coaches are rewarded handsomely with multi-million $ contracts with the sole purpose of winning.

Nobody is putting their careers at jeopardy out of spite for a single player. If he is good enough, he will get drafted.

There are multiple red flags when it comes to Shedeur Sanders. Most importantly he may well not be good enough to play at an NFL level, much less have the mental makeup to be a successful QB.
