NFL assistant pleads not to draft Colorado's Shedeur Sanders after 'worst formal interview'

The NFL draft is just under two days away in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and one of the top prospects most are keeping their eye on is former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Despite his well-documented family history, an anonymous NFL assistant told NFL Media's Tom Pelissero Sanders could be in for a complete disaster of an NFL career if he doesn't clean up his act.

"The worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life," the executive said. "He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. ... But the biggest thing is, he's not that good." 

There were uglier critiques, too, including an AFC coordinator who wasn't a fan of the comparisons to Deion Sanders.

"You can't have your dad saying, 'I'm going to come put a quarterback coach on blast who said you were arrogant.' So, he can't be criticized?"

Either way, it seems apparent the jury is still out on Shedeur Sanders. SN's Vinnie Iyer still sees the Colorado product as a valuable prospect as the No. 20 player in the class.

Whether Shedeur Sanders pans out or not, at least the league has begun to take notice that ego can potentially ruin a career.

Despite that, Shedeur Sanders is going to have a chance to prove his doubters wrong regardless of how grim his outlook may seem.
