Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft despite being a polarizing prospect. Many predicted he would be picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they chose Derrick Harmon instead. The only other quarterback taken in the first round was Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss. Sanders, who won the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in his senior year, faced criticism from scouts and coaches for his attitude and decision-making on and off the field. Despite criticism, Sanders remains positive, stating that negativity does not affect him and that he embraces chaos as part of his story. He completed over 70% of his passes at Colorado but was criticized for taking too many sacks and lacking arm strength. Sanders began his college career at Jackson State before following his father to Colorado, where he helped turn the team around from winning just one game to nine in his second season. Despite not being selected in the first round, Sanders remains focused and determined to succeed in the NFL.
