If you're wondering why Shedeur Sanders fell all the way down to the fifth round in the NFL Draft this year, you might just want to talk to Merrill Hoge. Before the draft started, the former Steelers running back broke down why he thought Sanders would eventually end up being an "epic failure" in the NFL if taken in the first round.

Shedeur Sanders' shocking fall to the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round will be dissected for years to come, and there will be plenty of reporting on what, precisely, caused him to drop so far. How he handled the pre-draft process—which included skipping the Senior Bowl and not throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine—might provide some clues.
