The NFL seems to have high expectations for Shedeur Sanders<\/a><\/strong>, as the league is showing its support on social media. The top quarterback prospect is on the banner of the NFL\u2019s official X (formerly Twitter) account. It\u2019s not clear when the NFL made the change, but it makes sense since he will be talked about a lot during the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

Sanders is projected to be a top-10 pick in this year\u2019s NFL Draft. ESPN\u2019s Jordan Reid<\/strong> just released his latest mock draft<\/a> and has Sanders going to the Cleveland Browns at No. 2 overall. <\/p>\n

NFL\/X<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Browns facing a lot of pressure to win next season, both\u00a0internally\u00a0and externally, they must figure out a long-term solution at quarterback to dig themselves out of\u00a0the rubble\u00a0of the failed\u00a0Deshaun Watson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0trade,\u201d Reid wrote. \u201cSanders is a picture-perfect fit as a polished pocket passer with toughness and excellent ball placement- traits of quarterbacks who have excelled in Kevin Stefanski\u2019s scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders was a standout quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes.<\/a> Last year, Sanders completed 74 percent of his passes for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His work on the field led to him being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and finishing eighth in Heisman Trophy voting. <\/p>\n

Why Shedeur Sanders is receiving criticism<\/h2>\n

Despite being a very talented player, Sanders is facing criticism due to his perceived attitude that he has given off during meetings with teams. ESPN\u2019s Stephen A. Smith said critics are going after Shedeur Sanders because they don\u2019t like his father, Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to remain composed and not really be as angry as I want to be,\u201d Stephen A. Smith said on First Take<\/em>.<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m fuming inside right now. What is he supposed to be as a quarterback entering the NFL? You can\u2019t be insecure and still succeed. You can\u2019t have doubts about your abilities and be successful as a quarterback in the NFL. If I know that, every single executive knows you have to have confidence. He has a resume that validates and backs up his confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith added, \u201cSo, I\u2019m getting angry because a young black man, highly successful, highly accomplished, and incomparable and incredible pedigree is entering the NFL, is considered easily one of the top two quarterbacks entering the NFL Draft.\u201d<\/p>\n
