Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round in last month’s NFL Draft before being selected by the Cleveland Browns. His fall in the draft was one that still has fans up in arms.
Fans Lash Out Over Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in Draft
According to Sports Illustrated, one Colorado fan is attempting to sue the NFL for $100 million over “emotional distress” that was caused by Sanders sliding in the draft.
To be completely honest, this might be one of the most ridiculous things to ever occur after a draft has taken place.
The Colorado fan is reportedly an anonymous one, so who knows how close they are to the program? But for some fan to get a little anxious just because one player fell in the draft, that doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to be gifted hundreds of millions of dollars in a lawsuit.
Drama Continues to Follow Shedeur Sanders
While Sanders was a talented high school and college player, there seems to be drama wherever he goes. Whether that is because of something he has said or his father has said, the cameras and reports are likely to follow him for a bit.
In this particular instance, Sanders didn’t say or do anything.
The fan was just so hurt by his quarterback falling down the board that he felt like it was worth it to sue the NFL. However, part of the reason Sanders fell last month was that he reportedly did not have good pre-draft meetings with multiple teams.
Plus, the fact that he has only played for his father, who is one of the most vocal voices in sports, may have hurt his draft stock, too.

All in all, Sanders is going to have to watch himself if he wants to stay in the league for a while. That means being a team player and striving to get better each day.
Time will tell as to how he fits in with the Browns and whether or not he will make the final 53-man roster after the preseason.
