Prognosticators universally viewed Shedeur Sanders as a potential first-round draft pick after his strong career at Colorado. Instead, five quarterbacks were selected before him before the Browns used their fifth-round pick to draft him. Cleveland even passed on him two rounds earlier when it selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third.

Shedeur Sanders fell into the fifth round in the NFL draft, which left many draft experts at a loss for words. So, what are the reasons for his slide?

Plenty of people have put their public support behind Sanders (none more than Mel Kiper Jr. on ESPN's Draft broadcast), and he got a surprisingly motivational pep talk from another Sanders on social media over the weekend, as KFC's Colonel Sanders had some words of wisdom for him.
