Indianapolis (AP) – Shedur Sanders used the abundant resources to start as a potential startnfl quarters.

Now the 22-year-old former Colorado star believes that he is ready for jumping from college to the professionals who is prepared to have an immediate influence on the team on April 24th.

“We were able to speak to running trainers, recipient trainers, defensive coordinators and all of these different types of coaches to give them their perspectives what they have to improve and grow,” he said on Friday at the annual Scouting combination of the NFL. “So I am realistic, I know what I have to improve. I know what I have to grow. Year after year, draw the tape, these mistakes that are reduced annually. I am aware of everything I have to do to be successful.

It was a humiliating moment for Sanders during a short interview session in which he left little to the imagination. He arrived with a shiny diamond chain and had a self -confident, almost boastful personality like his long -time coach and father, Deion Sanders.

But when it comes to business, Sanders weakened the message and instead appreciated the possibilities of his football family and her football world.

“He brought me to this field in his truck, this high school field,” said Sanders and described a training session with Brady in Tampa, Florida. “From then on he would only tell me knowledge and I filmed everything, I recorded everything. Even now I just go back and listen to the things he said at the time and registered it. “

These study meetings helped Sanders to develop from Wonderkid into potential No. 1 design of design. He seems to fight this place with the former Miami Quarterback Cam Ward, former college teammate Travis Hunter and maybe the former Penn State Edge -Rusher Abdul Carter.

But none of the others have a curriculum vitae like Sanders.

He believes that the collaboration with subdivision athletes of the football championship on a historically black college, Jackson State in Mississippi and Power 4 teammates with the buffalo helped to learn how to better relate to different people.

Colorado's offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, an NFL veteran, worked together for him last season what expectations will look like next season.

“I can adjust to every crime and program and get it up,” said Sanders. “But none of this would have happened without Jackson State. That was a springboard. From there I was able to go to Colorado and learn all this life lessons that I learned there. So I am very grateful that both universities bring me to this point. “

It could be enough to recognize a scout that Sanders focus on football over jewelry, image and personality over football and the others in this year's design class and the others drove up before the others.

Everything he has to do now can be proven.

“I know what I want and I know what will bring me to success,” he said. “These are these conversations with the coaches and the GMS and understand: 'Look, I will come on the right path because I tried everyone. I know what works for me and what makes me do my best.”
