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.

The Shedeur Sanders draft-day slide was a big story. Big enough to make it into Monday’s briefing from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. It wasn’t a complete surprise, given that President Donald Trump chimed after the first round of the draft regarding the failure of Sanders to be selected in the first round.
