Shedeur Sanders fires off confident social media messages ahead of NFL Draft

T.J. Houshmandzadeh explains why Shedeur Sanders would not make the Pittsburgh Steelers instantly better if he falls to No. 21. The Steelers are currently the favorites to land Sanders.

Shedeur Sanders may be one of the best players available in the NFL Draft, but where he eventually lands is becoming more cloudy by the minute ahead of the event.

The former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback put together a solid year in his final season with the team, leading the Big 12 Conference with 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes. 

He was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

With hours to go before possibly hearing his name called in the first round, Sanders hyped himself up.

"Legendary," he posted on X on Thursday morning.

He added, "I’m built for whatever today may bring."

Opinions of Sanders have differed greatly. He’s been considered by some as one of the best players in the draft, while others have said there’s nothing special about him, and he could turn into a "fringe starter."

He dismissed the critics weeks before the draft.

"Well, everybody trying to make my stock drop right now, so who knows, man?" Sanders said in March. "You know just how life get. But it is what it is. It’s fool's gold. It ain’t real. Don’t believe (the) media."
