Fans are going nuts trying to figure out why the heck Tom Brady and the Raiders didn’t draft Shedeur Sanders. I mean, we all know how talented but he probably lacked something the team was looking for.
Some fans think there’s something shady going on behind the scenes following Brady’s recent interview.
Brady may never share why the Raiders didn’t draft Sanders, but this week on Cris Collinsworth’s PFF Podcast, Brady talked about what he looks for in a quarterback and there were some traits he mentioned that didn’t necessarily line up with what Shedeur showed on the field in college.
“Football is the ultimate team sport and even in this broadcasting role, that’s what I look for all the time,” Brady told Collinsworth.
“When a quarterback throws a touchdown pass, I actually watch to see who he goes and celebrates with. Because what did I do? I went and looked for my offensive linemen every time,” Brady continued. “I went down and celebrated in the endzone with my teammates every time. I wanted everyone to feel like they were part of the success.”
“I think that’s way more intimidating than a quarterback doing his six-shooter guns and pointing up in the crowd and doing all that other bullsh– that’s very self-promotional, but it’s not about winning. I think winning in football is about a team attitude first.”
Brady didn’t mention Sanders, specifically, but it wouldn’t take a big imagination to believe Brady viewed some of Sanders’ actions on and off the field as “self-promotional.”
So, what’s your take on this whole situation? Do you all think the fans truly figured out the reason behind the Raiders not drafting Shedeur?
