Sheder Sanders Said Thursday evening on social networks, “I am built for everything that can bring today.”
He probably did not expect to be tested on Friday also.
Sanders did not attend the NFL draft In Green Bay, opting instead with his family in Texas. It was probably for the best because the video of him would have been everywhere in the emissions of ESPN and the NFL Network when he slipped from the first round Thursday evening, then saw his fall continue the second and third laps on Friday evening while several other quarter-rear-rear.

The most spoken player of this draft class now has what will probably be the most memorable recovery fall in the history of the NFL draft. It is very rare to see such a high level player who was considered a good bet for the first round so as not to even go to the first three laps. Here are some other memorable falls, without any particular order:

Aaron Rodgers, 2005: Rodgers was in the green room of the draft. It made sense because it was considered a possibility of going first on the whole. And the video of Rodgers pending while Pick after the choice was made is part of its inheritance of the NFL.
We know how it turned out. The packers chose Rodgers 22nd in the general classification, he won four MVP prizes in the NFL and had one of the biggest careers in the history of the League.

And Marino, 1983: Marino's fall occurred before the draft was one of the biggest television programs of the year. But we remember history.
Marino slipped into the famous 1983 project, perhaps due to rumors of drug use. Even the Pittsburgh steelers have passed, even if they needed a quarter and Marino played in Pitt nearby. Miami dolphins finally took Marino with the 27th choice. It was the sixth quarter of the board of directors. The dolphins have obtained more than a decade of play from the Marino renowned temple, one of the grown -ups of all time.

Warren SAPP, 1995: SAPP had to go very early in the project. But a last minute report that he failed in several drug tests at the University of Miami, which he denied, led him to fall. Fans of the draft jets sang so that their team chooses SAPP, but they rather took the end of Kyle Brady. Sapp's frustration was obvious in the green room. Finally, the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay took the 12th row of SAPP.

SAPP ended up being the cornerstone of a defense that won the first Super Bowl in the history of the franchise.
Johnny Manziel, 2014: The story of Manziel has similarities with Sanders. He was one of the most buzzing figures in his draft class. It was also a figure of division for some. Manziel also had physical limitations that made NFL teams think to take it. His slide has become a huge story on the evening of the draft.
Manziel fell in 22nd, where he was drafted by the Browns of Cleveland. Unlike other notable falls, this story did not end well. Manziel had left the NFL after only two seasons and 17 games.
Randy Moss, 1998: Moss was undeniably talented out of Marshall, where he dominated at university. He also had a lot of stories outside the scope, especially by being dismissed from Notre Dame and the State of Florida. The teams were nervous about his history and he slipped. Kevin Dyson was the first receiver taken while Moss was waiting.

Finally, the Vikings of Minnesota took Moss at n ° 21. He had one of the largest recruit seasons in the history of the NFL and ended up at the temple of renown of professional football as one of the best receivers to play.
Geno Smith, 2013: Smith was considered a choice of first round leaving Virginie-Western. When he was not chosen in the first, he left the green frustration room and said he was not coming back the next day. He ended up returning and was taken by the New York Jets in the second round.
His expectation was a precursor of his career. Smith did not work with the jets, was a safeguard for a long time, but during his ninth season, the Seattle Seahawks gave him a shot to start and he had 4,282 yards and 30 affected. He was already used to waiting for his shot.

Will Levis, 2023: Like Sanders, Levis was considered a potential choice of the first five for part of the offseason and went far from this top. Levis was in the green room and was regularly in front of the camera while it fell throughout the first round. Tennessee Titans took it in the second round.
Levis had the chance to start in each of its first two seasons with the Titans, but the team got tired of its reversals and chose Cam Ward for the first time in the general classification this year.
