Shedeur Sanders reveals how some NFL teams get ‘offended’ by confident visits

Shedeur Sanders has been coming in H๏τ and heavy.

The former Colorado quarterback has all eyes on him as a top NFL draft prospect, but he has been candidly pointing the attention back to the teams he visits, including the Steelers this week.

Some have welcomed the honesty.

Others have been “offended” by Sanders lack of a filter.

“When I go visit these coaches and when I go to all these different franchises, I ask them truly what I think and how I feel,” the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said on NFL Network’s “The Insiders” on Thursday.

“Some get offended, some like it, some don’t. Make some people uncomfortable, some people invite that. They know what type of person and what type of player they’re gonna get out of me, so I just have to make sure, you know, what type of culture or what type of dynamic I’m going to have with them also.”

Sanders isn’t one to shy away from a challenge.

He boasts confidence and has spoken often about his plans to change the franchise that chooses him in two weeks.

“When I talk to any team, I understand the work it’s gonna take and I see the dynamic of everybody that’s around, so I know how I approach different situations and what I’m gonna have to do to be successful in different franchises,” he said. “So, I’m just sitting back observing, watching everything and all of what’s gonna take to change the franchise for the better.”

For the past few months since the NFL scouting combine, Sanders has fluctuated in the draft prognostications.

Miami’s Cam Ward and Sanders are expected to be the top two quarterbacks taken, it’s just a matter of when.

Last week, new Jets safety Andre Cisco and others raised concern over Sanders’ patting the ball tendency and how that could impact his game in the NFL.

In ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft, Sanders is slated to go as the ninth overall pick to the Saints.

Nevertheless, the 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year isn’t too concerned about his stock.

“It’s extremely fun. It’s just funny to see what they come up with next,” Sanders said. “At first it was that his arm wasn’t strong — I had a lot of touchdowns in my college career. Then it was I pat the ball — that wasn’t a thing before pro day. So, I don’t get in trouble off the field, so it’s kind of hard for them to create storylines for the media. Keep that [energy] going, though. It’s just gonna be fun with the next story.”

In his senior year, Sanders threw for 4,134 and 37 touchdowns against 10 interceptions for Colorado.
