ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Matt Miller shed light on former Colorado Buffalo Stars Fall. He pointed out how Sanders and his camp handled the entire draft process.
“I didn't think they handled the process well,” he told the terrible announcement. “It's not just hindsight. I took a lot of heat about 'NFL Live' right before the combined NFL scouting, saying he was making a mistake.
“He should throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. He should have worked at the Tosei Shrine Game, which accepted the invitation. The NFL must be involved if he accepts invitations to the All-Star Game.
Miller still believed that Sanders was “overrated as a player.”

“I had a lot of messages. I've responded a lot to the video ESPN saying it. So I think… he was overrated as a player? Yes, based on the talent and tools he has as a player, he wasn't the top two or three players in this draft class,” he said. “But you get to the process part of it. And the NFL is humble for everyone.
“How the NFL will look at you, rate you, they will humble all players. So I think I had this perception of him as two or three draft topics for Chedur, for Thunderscanp. And they approached the process that way. And the fact that you are approaching the process like that is hurting him.”
Sanders has the ability to prove everyone in the Browns wrong.
