The story of the NFL Draft was the slide of Shedeur Sanders. Expected to be a first-round pick, Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round, where he was scooped up by the Browns after they had already taken Dillon Gabriel in the third round.
Everyone seems to have their own thoughts about Sanders, and one former Super Bowl MVP had some words of advice to give him. In an interview with RotoGrinders, Dexter Jackson tells Sanders to use his slide as motivation.
"I was supposed to be drafted a lot higher than where I ended up," Jackson said. "I hope Sanders does what I did and uses it as fuel. He should have a chip on his shoulder, and he should write down the name of every quarterback who went ahead of him and put that list on the back of his bedroom door. That's what I did so the list was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last thing I saw before I slept... Shedeur was a phenomenal player in college, and he absolutely can be a great player in the NFL."
The Browns will have many decisions to make at the position, as five quarterbacks are currently on the roster. Who will be the last three standing that get roster spots? And will Sanders be the starter before season's end?
