In the video above, Colin Cowherd continues discussing the fallout from the NFL Draft, focusing on new information about why Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell to the 5th round. Colin highlights two key issues that emerged during Shedeur’s pre-draft interviews.
"So a lot of times when you go to these combine meetings, teams give you things to challenge you. Teams will have players' worst plays ready for them and they'll show them their worst plays and say "Hey, why don't you explain them." And Shedeur apparently didn't take to it well. And at one point, one of the few teams that actually was interested in him said, "Well what to make of this really bad play?" And Shedeur said, "You know, maybe I'm not the guy for you." That's not the answer, since there were only 3 or 4 teams in the first round that were gonna consider it, now that Pittsburgh apparently has a deal with Aaron Rodgers, so take them out."
"Another moment: What they do during film in the combine meetings is teams will install mistakes intentionally planted in the install and, they want you to catch them. Shedeur didn't, and when a coach called him out, once again, it didn't sit well. Bro, there's not many teams needing quarterbacks."
Colin Cowherd disputes comparisons to other iconic NFL families who took advantage of the league, as further evidence suggests Shedeur butchered his interview with the New York Giants — a team that was actually in the market for a quarterback.
"Here's something to really think about because one of the few teams that was interested, at least going into the draft evaluation in January and February, was the New York Giants. Think about this: The Giants wanted a quarterback; they offered Tennessee two first-round picks to get Cam Ward. Tennessee said 'No thanks.' Then they traded 3 picks for Jaxson Dart. So one of the teams that was willing to give up major picks for a quarterback eventually did, and the worst interview Shedeur had was reportedly with the New York Giants."
