Rich Eisen joined First Take to discuss Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock with Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim.
Rich Eisen Reveals the Biggest Mystery About Shedeur Sanders.
In his spot with Smith and Qerim, the three discussed the mystery surrounding Sanders, his draft stock, and how the flash and dash of Sanders and Coach Prime obscure the fact that they both approach the game as serious professionals.
Eisen elaborated, saying, “Everybody always thinks Dion is more about the flash than what’s most important, which is winning, which is being a professional.”
“I think the same thing is being applied to Shadore oh he was he wasn’t paying attention in in certain meetings because teams might not draft him or oh this that and the other thing about his lack of championships in Colorado it was a one- win team that he was quarterbacking when he first arrived with Dion so I think that’s what’s happening right now in in many ways.”
Sanders has proven himself at the college level, having compiled a career that includes completing 70.1% of his pass attempts for 14,347 yards, while throwing 134 touchdowns and 27 interceptions.
Does that translate to the NFL? That remains to be seen, but with the draft a week away, we will have the answers very soon.
Sanders is touted to be the second-best quarterback behind Cam Ward, who, in the mock drafts and predictions, will be selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans.
He has been featured on numerous boards in mock drafts, going to the New Orleans Saints, who hold the No. 9 overall pick, or falling to No. 21 as a pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers, backing up Aaron Rodgers.
Sanders is also up against Travis Hunter, his Colorado teammate, the star who is both a receiver and a cornerback, as a potential top pick with Ward, edge rusher Abdul Carter, and defensive lineman Mason Graham.

Eisen called out members, saying, “We in the media might put him in a position to be a distraction because nothing lights us up more than talking about something that’s a distraction because it’s in our media because it makes us sound like we’re being heard.”
