NFL Exec Hypes Shedeur Sanders' Accuracy, Says QB 'Throws a 20-Yard Handoff'

As the NFL Draft gets closer, some scouts have cooled on Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. Still, there are plenty of scouts still raving over the star quarterback.

Per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, one executive hyped Sanders' arm, saying he "basically throws a 20-yard handoff."

While Sanders might not have the same mobility and speed as some of the quarterbacks in this year's class, his arm is something to marvel at. He routinely connected with receivers on balls that were both deep and accurate.

Plenty of quarterbacks have thrived in the NFL without having breakneck speed, and Sanders could do the same.

Sanders, who spent two years and Jackson State before playing his final two seasons with Colorado, threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last year.

After his collegiate career ended, Sanders seemed on his way to being a top pick in the draft, but he has since fallen on plenty of draft boards. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on SportsCenter on Sunday that there is "a pretty big gap" between Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Sanders.

Still, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Sanders get taken off the board early in a few weeks, even if he's not the first overall pick.

Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department projects Sanders to land with the New Orleans Saints at No. 9.
