NFL coach rips Shedeur Sanders in anonymous pre-draft take: ‘He's so entitled’

Colin Cowherd reacts to an anonymous NFL coach saying Shedeur Sanders is "not good," and questions whether the criticism ahead of the draft has gone too far.

Shedeur Sanders is one of the most hotly debated options in this year’s draft, but the former Colorado quarterback received scathing criticism from an anonymous coach in the NFL just days out from finding out his future.

Sanders is one of the top quarterback options in the draft and has been linked to the New York Giants with the third overall pick, but one "longtime" NFL assistant coach has seemingly not bought in.

The coach recently told the NFL Network that Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life."

"He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates," the coach continued. "But the biggest thing is, he's not that good." 

Another longtime AFC executive echoed that sentiment, telling the outlet, "It didn't go great in our interview. He wants to dictate what he's going to do and what's best for him. He makes you feel small." 

But Sanders, who is projected to be a first-round pick on Thursday night in Green Bay, is no stranger to scrutiny. His father, Deion Sanders, believes it's because of his own legacy.
