Shedeur Sanders Feels Like an NFL Outsider Amid Draft Status

Shedeur Sanders is currently under scrutiny from media and fans as he navigates his second season in the NFL. Former All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy noted that Sanders' draft-day slide to the fifth round has affected his confidence and mindset as a quarterback.

McCoy expressed that if Sanders had been a first-round pick, his confidence would likely be higher, influencing how he is treated by the team and management. Despite being a fifth-round selection, Sanders has shown potential, leading the Browns after injuries and trades affected the team's quarterback lineup.

During his eight games, including seven starts, Sanders completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns. While he faces competition for the starting role against Deshaun Watson, his journey reflects that draft position does not solely determine a player's success in the NFL.
