Will Howard atribui a queda de Shedeur Sanders ao seu posicionamento tardio no Draft de 2025

O quarterback do Pittsburgh Steelers, Will Howard, acredita que a queda inesperada de Shedeur Sanders no Draft da NFL de 2025 atrasou as seleções de outros passadores, incluindo ele mesmo. Howard, que foi escolhido na sexta rodada, compartilhou seus pensamentos durante uma recente participação em um podcast. Ele relembrou que esperava ser selecionado na sexta-feira, mas viu a classe de quarterbacks estagnar após a queda de Sanders.

Conversando com seu companheiro de equipe Christian Kuntz, Howard observou que a situação de Sanders afetou prospectos como Riley Leonard, Kyle McCord e Quinn Ewers. "A queda dele realmente prejudicou muitos dos outros quarterbacks da nossa classe", disse ele. Muitos avaliadores haviam projetado Howard para a terceira ou quarta rodada, no entanto, ele e vários colegas esperaram até rodadas posteriores.
