Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, experienced an unexpected tumble in the NFL Draft, finally being selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round. This was contrary to earlier projections placing him as a potential first-round pick.

Analysts struggled to understand his drop as Sanders, known for his game intelligence and coaching from his father at Colorado, was closely followed by many. Reports emerged suggesting a lackluster interview performance, as well as concerns about his physical attributes, might have influenced teams' decisions.

Despite these issues, Sanders had significant backing, including from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who publicly supported Sanders' pedigree and potential. However, questions remain on how his father's influence will play out in his professional career.
