Shedeur Sanders is projected to be one of the top three picks in this year's draft. He decided to forego the NFL Scouting Combine and Big 12 Pro Day.

The 2024 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm winner is expected to throw during the Colorado Pro Day scheduled for Apr. 4. That is when representatives from all 32 NFL teams will visit Boulder to have one last look at the prospects.

Todd McShay shares unfiltered take on Shedeur Sanders

After the recent NFL Scouting Combine, the narrative surrounding the Colorado quarterback's draft has changed a bit. Miami's Cam Ward is seen going No.1 overall to the Titans, while Shedeur has received criticism and backlash for his character and personality.

Last Friday, NFL analyst Todd McShay made an appearance on the Bill Simmons podcast. During this interview, he shared his true feelings about Shedeur and dissected the quarterback's assessment by scouts.

"I kind of got my own little deep dive of everything," McShay said. "So everyone wants to say Shedeur has got a second-round grade for a lot of teams. I talked to two. We'll call them sources... So I'm getting that information, and I look at him as a player who in certain systems, certain situations, he's got a chance to really succeed in the league."

"But he's not for everybody. He's not a big, strong-arm, mobile quarterback. He's none of those things, right? He's actually a way more traditional quarterback." (Timestamp: 1:15 onwards)

The top three teams in the draft all have a need at the quarterback position. Therefore, even if Shedeur Sanders is not drafted by the Titans, there is a high possibility the Browns or the Giants acquire him with the second or third overall pick respectively.
