Ross Tucker left the hotel and he saw anything but Chedur Sanders.
On the day, Tucker, the former NFLER, and his CBS broadcast crew were told that the Colorado quarterback would not meet them for a conventional game session, as promised before the match against Colorado.
“We weren't really given a reason, but we didn't talk to Chedur at the production meeting. You know, quarterbacks, especially those well-known players, are very unusual,” Tucker recalled.Dampertrick showWednesday of September development.
People in the NFL later peppered Tucker about his thoughts about Sanders.
Many believe these concerns played a major factor in why Sanders fell to the Browns in the fifth round at Pick No. 144 overall, but say his talent played a big role.
Tucker's story has penetrated the league circles and gave us a glimpse into a small story that allows prospects to take into account the reasons why they move the board up and down.
“NFL people asked after that game, 'What did you think of Chedur?' And I couldn't speak to him. Tucker said. “It certainly seemed like it was a lot of combine interviews and meetings with the team, especially dealings at that position. I think he's already in college and is very nervous about what you're supposed to be doing.
Tucker explained how prospects do themselves and how they treat others, and explained that more reports have been made about how Sanders was run in pre-draft interviews.
Some reports have shown that Sanders doesn't work with teams that didn't feel like a good fit or a potential destination.
Jason Kelse mentioned the latest “New Heights” podcast in which teams soften some antics when they feel their talent surpasses distractions, and the draft showed that Chedur felt he was not capable of surpassing off-field concerns.
Tucker said those concerns will be greater as the backup quarterback should not generate headlines if the team considers Sanders a quarterback.
“If he had the talent for Come Ward, he would still be the first round pick. I think Titan would have taken Cam Ward in his place. “If he's a top five pick, a starting quarterback, it's okay to pay that level of attention. That comes with it.
“From (Colin) Kaepernick to (Tim) Tebow, I know this. I don't want the team's most attention-grabbing quarterback to be the backup quarterback.
