On first hear, Sanders’ remark reeks of an entitlement these gamers haven’t earned but. They have been definitely standouts at Colorado final season, however higher gamers have come and gone with out with the ability to leverage their strategy to an excellent draft vacation spot.
Nevertheless, simply because gamers haven’t been capable of leverage the place they go as a lot up to now doesn’t imply it shouldn’t and gained’t occur extra sooner or later. We’ve been conditioned to simply accept the draft as a authentic course of to find out the place folks get to work, however the extra energy school gamers achieve via NIL and model offers, the extra we might see the tide shift. There isn’t a extra superb scenario to assist push that change than having one of many NFL’s best gamers with a star quarterback as a son and a two-way defensive again as his star pupil.
Manning is aware of all about that and appeared to approve the message, with a tweet saying “I like me some Deion.”
