The NFL Draft is fast approaching and the pro day circuit is in full effect. On Monday, the Miami Hurricanes held their pro day as quarterback Cam Ward put on a show for coaches and personnel. He even did the obligatory pro day throw.
Pro day workouts are important to quarterbacks, as scouts and personnel want to see them throw live before making that kind of commitment. The next one that will be important is Colorado's on April 4th.
If you want to see what happens with Sanders' pro day and also see supestar cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, you are in luck, as NFL Network announced they will be broadcasting the event live at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Shedeur Sanders pro day to air on NFL Network
Of all the prospects in this draft class, there arguably isn't a more controversial one than Sanders. The son of Colorado head coach and Pro Football Hall Of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, Shedeur gets a lot of extra attention and criticism because of that.
Despite that, the biggest reason that Sanders gets knocked for his play is his arm. Unlike Ward, Sanders doesn't have a dynamic arm in the same way. He is much more of a distributor of the football. Stylistically, he compares similarly to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in how he plays the game. Now, Sanders isn't the level of player that Burrow was coming out of college, but they share similar traits.
The pro day will give fans, analysts, and personnel one more opportunity to see what Sanders brings to the table. The good thing for Sanders is his accuracy. He's one of the more accurate passers we've had coming out of the draft in some time to all three levels of the field. Displaying that with some zip could quiet a lot of doubters.
Sanders could end up going in the top-five of April's NFL Draft and a good pro day will go a long way to making that happen.
