Former Colorado quarterback Chedur Sanders opted out of throwing passes at the NFL scouting combine last week. However, he traveled to Indianapolis and met with several teams.
Sanders also asked questions from the media. It remains unclear whether something from the Scouting Combine will affect where he will fall in next month's NFL Draft, but anonymous criticism has emerged.
NFL insider Jocina Anderson reported that at least one assistant coach on “top seven draft teams” described Sanders as “brash” and “rog arrog.”

“I don't deliberately name the team so that I don't call them directly. I just share this coach's personal rating as the exact opposite of how Sanders meets many reporters at press conferences with the media at the combine,” Anderson wrote in X.
In a video posted recently on social media, Sanders dismissed the notion that his draft stock was falling sharply, describing it as “fool's money.”

“I'm a Raider fan,” the camera operator responded to Sanders's enquiries about outfits. “I'm praying for you, baby. I want you to go to the assailants very badly. I want to the god they exchange for you.”
“Well, everyone is trying to lower my stock right now, so who knows?” Sanders said. “You know how life comes to you. But that's what it is. It's the money of the fool. It's not the real thing. Don't believe in the media.”

Sanders has linked to the Las Vegas Raiders due to his relationship with Tom Brady, who owns a minority stake in the franchise. Las Vegas holds the sixth pick in this year's draft.
Sanders and former Miami Star Come Ward are projected to be the first two quarterbacks selected in the April draft.

“The only way I consider (coaching in the NFL) is to coach my son,” Sanders told “Good Morning America” in January.
Shedeur finished his final college football season with 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
