According to McShay, he spoke with two teams that had a "15-minute meeting" with Sanders, and they were reportedly not pleased with QB's attitude.

"They had a 15-minute meeting with him and they both said in different words that they didn't feel like Sanders cared all that much about what that org thought of him," McShay said in the podcast. "One of them said Sanders didn't have a professional approach. The other one said Sanders 'wasn't taking it all that seriously.'"

Shedeur Sanders sends a bold message to NFL Teams ahead of the 2025 Draft

On Friday, Shedeur Sanders addressed the media and spoke on several topics, including what teams could expect from him if he would be drafted into the league.

"If you're not trying to change the franchise or the culture, don't get me. So, you should know how to repeat yourself over and over and over, and I have done it over and over and over. So, this should not be a question why an NFL franchise should pick me," Sanders said.
