There was no doubt that, whatever happened in the Draft, for better or worse, Shedeur Sanders would steal all the spotlight in Green Bay. And he did – but unfortunately, for the worse, for the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback.
At the beginning of the year, Shedeur was projected to be picked very early in the NFL Draft, but he wasn’t selected until pick No. 144 in the fifth round, when the Cleveland Browns chose him – a franchise that currently has five quarterbacks on its roster, which will undoubtedly soon turn into a conflict.
New York Giants vs Detroit Lions training camp fight
One of the teams that had been linked to Shedeur Sanders since last year was the New York Giants, who ultimately closed the door on the high-profile player. Instead, they made a trade late in the first round with the Houston Texans to move up and select Jaxson Dart, quarterback from Ole Miss, at pick No. 25 – passing over Sanders.
The reasons why the Giants didn’t pick Shedeur were leaked
At one point, the Giants were even considered favorites to take Shedeur Sanders with the third overall pick. But that possibility faded once they signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency – especially after it leaked that Shedeur wasn’t willing to sit on the bench and wait his turn.
NFL analyst Todd McShay from The Ringer revealed that the Giants had no plans to select Sanders because a private meeting with Head Coach Brian Daboll went poorly.
“Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll during a private visit,” said McShay. “He was presented with an installation packet of plays but wasn’t prepared for it. [Sanders] was confronted about it. He didn’t like that. And Brian didn’t like that he didn’t like it.”
“There were two teams picking in the top 10, both in need of a quarterback, where the interviews didn’t go well. It wasn’t that Sanders was disrespectful or anything serious – they just felt like, ‘He didn’t give us the feeling that he really cared what we thought of him.'”
Perhaps those were the reasons why not just the Giants, but practically every quarterback-needy team, passed on Sanders. A total of 143 players were selected before Shedeur’s name was finally called.

Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi parallels: ‘I don’t want to compare me with anyone’
Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal says he does not want to be compared with anyone — “even less with Lionel Messi”.Yamal, 17, has drawn comparisons to the Argentine superstar as a fellow graduate from Barcelona’s La Masia youth academy and as a left-footed forward to burst onto the scene as a teenager.Yamal was speaking to the media on Tuesday ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter — exactly two years after he made his first-team debut for the club at the age of 15 years, nine months and 16 days. Messi, meanwhile, made his competitive Barcelona debut at the age of 17 years, three months and 22 days old in October 2004.Advertisement“I don’t compare myself with him,” Yamal told reporters when asked about Messi. “I don’t want to compare me with anyone, and even less with Messi.

Rizek elege o time que mais encanta no Brasil hoje: “Obviedade”
André Rizek, jornalista do SporTV (Reprodução/Globo) André Rizek não se surpreendeu, mas ficou embasbacado com a facilidade com que o Flamengo venceu o Corinthians por 4 a 0, no último domingo, pela sexta rodada do Brasileirão. Mais do que o placar elástico, mas a forma com que o Rubro-Negro atropelou a equipe paulista. “O time do Flamengo já é bom para caramba, e aí o Corinthians vai lá e transforma o time no Barcelona do Messi. É uma diferença gritante de uma equipe para outra. O Flamengo encanta, tem Pedro e Arrascaeta que são jogadores tops. O Arrascaeta é o melhor jogador disparado destas primeiras rodadas”, disse o jornalista. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Com gols de Everton Cebolinha, Arrascaeta e Pedro (2), o Flamengo não teve qualquer trabalho para despachar o rival corintiano. Segundo Rizek, a goleada seria ainda maior não fossem […]
Ze Survivora rovnou na stadion. Hejnová povede nejlepší českou překážkářku
Čtyřiadvacetiletá překážkářka dosáhla všech svých úspěchů pod vedením bývalého překážkáře Jindřicha Šimánka, s nímž se ale na přelomu roku rozešla. „S respektem mu chci poděkovat za jeho práci a celkový posun, který mé kariéře přinesl. Bohužel jsme se již delší dobu názorově rozcházeli a další spolupráce nebyla možná,“ přiznala.Přes halovou sezonu se Jíchová připravovala sama s pomocí Rudolfa Černého, bývalého kouče Barbory Špotákové, a svého partnera Martina Růžičky. Jméno své nové trenérky ještě nechtěla prozradit, ale všechny indicie směřovaly k české rekordmance a stříbrné olympijské medailistce Hejnové. Ta po rozmýšlení kývla.„Pro mě byla jasnou a jedinou volbou. Myslím, že je potřeba se učit od těch nejlepších. Má obrovské zkušenosti z největších závodů a její cit pro překážky pro mě bude velkým přínosem. Chtěla bych Zuzce poděkovat za její ochotu a za to, že mou nabídku přijala,“ prohlásila Jíchová.Hejnová je od loňského roku svazovou trenérkou sprintů a překážkových běhů, přesto si přes zimu […]

Is Devin Williams Down to His Last Out as New York Yankees Closer?
Even as a longtime resident of the New York area, I get the eye-rolling over the air of superiority that accompanies so many things from and about the Big Apple. Everything here isn’t automatically bigger, better or more challenging, and people can be just as successful and satisfied in the careers of their choosing without ever stepping foot into Manhattan or its boroughs.Except for baseball closers. The final three outs of the game — already the toughest to get — are exponentially harder to record for those employed by the Yankees and Mets. And even if you are already among the best at what you do, it doesn’t count and it doesn’t matter until you do it here — over and over and over again. Right, Devin Williams? The embattled Yankees reliever was demoted from closer duties after giving up […]
