NFL Draft: The ESPN analyst says that Shedeur Sanders is criticized for skin color

Shedeur Sanders It is perhaps the most popular name in this year’s NFL draft, but it is not exactly the most popular player in number 1.

After a long time of being 1b to Cam Ward’s 1aSanders has continued falling into the eyes of most explorers. In fact, it is not too difficult to find some even to say that Jaxson Dart is ahead of Sanders in the field Marshal ranking.

There is no doubt that Sanders is polarizing, and Ryan Clark of ESPN said he has heard the “arrogant” term floating around the field marshal.

“They plant these certain reports, and you listen to these things, and you hear the word ‘arrogant’. Why is it arrogant? Regurgite for me as if I were in the work at this time in the same way that an offensive coach or coordinator would do it, because that is what it will have to do.

Of course, part of Sanders’ popularity is due to be the son of the Hall of Fame Deion, who trained it throughout the university in both Jackson State and Colorado. In some circles, that can be a detriment of your draft stock.

But Clark added that the color of his skin can also be a concern for NFL teams.

“It is not just that he is the son of Deion Sanders. It is about the bravery he carries. It is the fact that it looks in a certain way. It is the fact that the color of his skin sometimes in the position can be questioned. And I think that Shedeur Sanders will have to deal with that until he reaches the field,” Clark said.

Sanders exuded confidence in the NFL combine scouting Last month, saying that the story would “repeat” with him.

“We went from Jackson State to Colorado and we changed two consecutive programs. You do not think it could reach an NFL franchise and change a program again? Is history, it will always be repeated,” Sanders said.

“If you are not trying to change the franchise or culture, do not catch me. Therefore, you should know that history is repeated again and again, and I have done it again and again, so it should not be doubt about why the NFL franchises should choose me.”
