Undoubtedly the most polarizing perspective of the draft of the NFL of this year, the former quarter-back of Colorado Shemer Sanders slipped to the fifth round, where he was selected by the Browns of Cleveland, who made him the sixth quarter of the painting, but the second drafted by the Browns themselves. After being thrown as a potential selection of day 1 which would probably pass day 2 at the latest, Sanders is not worried to stick it to its skeptics.
“My job here is not to prove that people are wrong, I do well,” said Sanders at a press conference at Browns Rookie Minicamp, via NFL Media. “And I always have a belief.”
Sanders also spoke specifically about this belief he has in himself.
“I just feel in life and everything is just me against me,” he said, via the newspaper Akron Beacon-Journal. “I cannot control any other decision apart from that. So I’m just trying to be my best me at all times.”
Sanders will have to be his best me just to make the list, and he has an even more difficult battle if he wants to become the starter. The Browns not only have a pair of veterans in the room of Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, but they also wrote Dillon Gabriel de l’Oregon de l’Oregon Deux Tours before selecting Sanders, who said that the pair adapted very well at the beginning.
“Cool, normal,” said Sanders about working alongside Gabriel. “Yeah, it was normal. He is a real cool guy overall. You could say that he always has a good mood. He is always in a good mood. He was never – I only went with him two days – but he always has a good mood. But overall, I could say that he is a fairly good person.”
