At Colorado's pro day, Shedeur Sanders met with Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton, highlighting his long-time connection through his father, Deion Sanders. He is projected as a top-10 NFL draft pick, yet while acknowledged for his accuracy and decision-making, scouts criticize his tendency to hold the ball too long and retreat into the backfield. There appears to be a disconnect between his draft status and how fully the league understands his playing style and potential.
"Last time I saw you, you were just a young pup!" Payton said, as three different videographers swarmed to document their interaction.
Sanders first met Payton as a kid because of the connection to his dad, Hall of Famer Deion 'Coach Prime' Sanders.
The league knows Shedeur, who is projected as a top-10 pick and the second quarterback chosen on April 24. And yet it doesn't.
He retreats into the backfield and takes unnecessary risk. He's a solid decision-maker but pats the ball before each throw.
