Why did Shera Sanders fell into the 5th round? 3 reasons to explain his slide

Sherdeur Sanders‘The monumental skating in the fifth round was the biggest and most handsome story of the NFL draft 2025. How is it Colorado Buffaloes Quarterback, which is projected as high as the top 10, eventually fell on Cleveland Browns with 144.?

A few days removed from the draft, Fox sports figures reflected in Sanders’ situation and tried to figure out what happened. But the reality is that there is no simple explanation.

From different perceptions of his talent, to his approach before the draft of the process, to the “luggage” that followed him, here’s what our analysts had to say about why Sanders was waiting for as long as he made to be assembled.

Reason no. 1: Sherdeur Sanders did not view as talent in the first round

Sanders was a polarizing potential. While setting records in Colorado and finished the 2024 season. With the highest percentage of completion (74.1%) in FBS, he also led the nation in the bags, taking and entering a draft with questions about his pocket presence and mobility.

Many draft analysts have classified as one of the best attackers in this class, along with number 1 selection, but it was also not a deep year in that position. It is now clear that the front offices of the NFL were not as high on Sanders, such as evaluators in the media.

“As the group thoughts reached the point where no media member had a source who was the general director who was willing to say,” You are all crazy. This child is not going in the first round, “said Danny Parkins”Breakfast ball“On Monday.” No one had it. No one had it … Man, we all packed group colors, because, obviously, NFL did not view this child as a choice in the first round based on talent or personality. “

“From the perspective of talent, he is not a generational talent like his father’s generation talent. So if you are not a generational talent, it is better given to other parts, the intangible parts of the process. And by all accounts, he was not an intangible aspect of it.” Mark Schlereth added.

“For everyone else to be offended for not drawn where they wanted him, I don’t even understand it,” Craig Carton Chimed in. “Maybe they didn’t draw him where they thought he would put him together because talent scouts don’t think he’s as good as he thinks he is.”

Colin Cowherd conveyed what NFL’s executive director told him about Sanders “Herd“On Monday:” This executive director said, “if he does not go in the first six to eight types of the second round, and then people look at him as a backup.”

The first two rounds of drafts, in particular, are stock with potential NFL starters. If there was a feeling that Sanders was not a driver, then it was understandable why he was not a draft in the first few rounds.

As said, Sanders dropped down until the fifth circle does not tell the whole story.

Reason no. 2: teams did not want to be part of the Sanders “Circus” family

Sherder Sanders and his father Deion made two seasons in Colorado in a reality show. The team went to a combined 13-12, but was treated and covered as a candidate for national championship. Sanders family has held a flame party and has played its status of celebrities in recent months. This is not something NFL teams are just resolving, especially if he is not a sure starter.

“No one wants a reserve celebrity striker,” Cowherd said.

“Deion went to the shore to the shore by saying to the people,” If the wrong team assembled his son, he will withdraw Eli Manning, “Carton said, calling for a draft 2004 when Manning, who was a clear selection of number 1, explicitly not to play for San Diego Chargers.

“Everyone says and claiming he didn’t interview well,” Carton added. “It’s coming with luggage and not everyone wants it.”

“Deion – who has many friends in the media, speaking, during the Super Bowl, in more interviews,” we will dictate concepts, we will not play for certain teams – and then between the Schedeur interview with the sand, he probably explains (his slide), “Cowherd said.

Bruce Feldman, an associate of Fox Sports, wrote an article in an athletic allegation of a former coach of the attacker who said Sherdeur had been injured without participating in a senior pelvis or in combination of NFL scouts. “Intel (he) arrived at Sanders was shocking: he didn’t have self -awareness,” Cowherd divided into a “flock.”

Reason no. 3: Not many teams needed the initial QB in this draft

Even if the Sanders teams viewed as a NFL starter or with the potential to be one, “there were not many teams that needed an attacker who would come in as a novine and start for them,” Keyshaww Johnson said.Speak“On Monday.

“As he started to slide, and we went through all the teams that were repeatedly needed return shots, that could easily go on,” said Eric Mangini. “First things first. ”

“I think it was: ownership was decided in Cleveland.”

No matter who made the decision, Sanders was assembled. And they will have the opportunity to prove themselves in NFL – and prove their suspicious wrong ones.
