Shedeur Sanders says of things he did that seemed right, 'I could have went about in a different way'

The questions about Shedeur Sanders' NFL draft experience over the last three days that will go a long way toward determining his future are Has he learned anything And can he use that to improve In that regard the newest addition to the Cleveland Browns quarterback room seems to be on the right path Sanders drafted in the fifth round th overall on Saturday seems to be reaching for perspective CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS COM Do I have any regrets Sanders inquired repeating a question during his first media availability since the draft began I feel like in life it s consistently a way I can improve So it s dependably in different areas I m able to improve And particular things that I could have done at the time that seemed right at the time I could have went about in a different way and that was like more during the season and stuff like that Sanders not only slid in the draft He rode an avalanche down the board really So how did that feel What effect did that have on his mindset SHEDEUR SANDERS OPENS UP ON HISTORIC NFL DRAFT SLIDE PRANK CALL AND BECOMING A BROWN No nothing really affected me the last couple of days Sanders mentioned You know to just really push having faith and understanding you know God really had me and I m favored I m privileged Besides that it s not really anything that changed The love of the championship is still the love of the tournament When you get on the field there wasn t too much negativity being mentioned I know I gotta clean up certain things in my contest for me to be at my best but that s what I take each offseason one at a time and fix it So I think that was just outside of football getting in the way But therefore I have an opportunity now We re about to get on grass really soon Sanders noted that advice he got from his father and Colorado coach Deion Sanders amid the dramatic slide in the draft helped And he also shared his feelings throughout that time He disclosed God got us So that s what it is I look at what went on and everything as a football tournament you know you may not come out early hot you know that may not happen But you know when it s down to the final two minutes of the event then you understand the level of seriousness raises the stakes All the stakes raised and that s why I thrive in those high-pressure moments So I never felt any type of way I never felt any type of way I understood OK this is the highway and that s it Sanders has been portrayed as entitled And perhaps arrogant That snapshot of him is not inaccurate depending on the moment But that's not how he would have everyone believe he'll be when he arrives at the Browns' facility in Berea Ohio Get there and handle my business do what I have to do whatever role that is I m just thankful for the opportunity So that s all I could ask for The rest is on me I know I m going to fit in perfectly I feel like it s first getting in showing respect to the vets showing them I m here ready to work Show the coaches and have them understand I m here ready to work So they could veritably understand the real me That s what I m truly thankful to have is the opportunity for people to literally see the real me and not be able to see stuff that could be true or not It's obvious that Sanders doesn't agree with what happened when he was passed over by all teams multiple times until the fifth round arrived But at least he's smart enough at least on this day to not come off as victimized by it all That would be a bad look I feel like talent is everywhere throughout the draft he disclosed It s about just being picked and who sees your value That s pretty much it Because it s a lot of valuable players that go in the rounds after the first and second So I m a product of one of those And I understand you can t really categorize I ll say my talent I just got to prove and show what I m capable of But what fuels me is my purpose in life and understanding the highway that we re gonna have to take Understanding that I was able to get an opportunity when a lot of people didn t want to give me an opportunity So that s what I m truly thankful for Follow Fox News Digital s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter
