Former NFL star Robert Griffin III weighed in on the draft situation of Shedeur Sanders, saying that the quarterback’s slide to the fifth round was a “lesson” being taught by teams. Griffin stated that Sanders’ lack of interviews with teams during the draft process led to his fall, but argued that the punishment went too far.
Griffin pointed out that other high-profile prospects who had similar confidence and bravado as Sanders were not punished in the same way. He believes that Sanders should have been selected in the first three rounds, citing the quarterback’s confidence and desire to prove himself. Griffin concluded that teams are trying to teach Sanders a lesson, but his approach was misguided.
Sanders, who was taken by the Cleveland Browns, took the high road when speaking to reporters on Saturday. He stated that he didn’t let anything affect him during the draft process, and instead focused on proving himself to coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry. Sanders believes that he is a good fit for the team and is looking forward to working with them.
