A report from CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones over the weekend has shed new light on Sanders's draft fall. In his report, Jones stated that the 23-year-old may have deliberately done poorly in his pre-draft interviews at the combine to avoid getting picked by certain NFL teams.

While waiting to finally hear his name called, Sanders was prank called by someone pretending to be Saints GM Mickey Loomis. Turns out the prankster was the son of Falcons' defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who had to apologize after the fact. Yikes.

Sanders declared for the draft following a remarkable college career. He spent his first two seasons at Jackson State under the coaching of his father, Deion Sanders. When Deion transitioned to become the head coach at Colorado, Shedeur followed him, serving as the starting quarterback for two additional seasons.
