Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said this week that he spoke with three different personnel people in the NFL that removed Sanders off their draft boards completely because the team owners made it clear they did not want him. "Shedeur Sanders just torpedoed himself," Esiason said.

The first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night averaged 13.6 million viewers across television and digital platforms, according to the league and Nielsen. The numbers from Friday night's coverage (Rounds 2 & 3) averaged 7.

In a twist few saw coming just months ago, Shedeur Sanders—the son of NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders—has been added to the Toronto Argonauts’ exclusive CFL negotiation list, giving the Canadian club first dibs if the quarterback pivots north of the border.
