NFL Hall of Fame Chris Carter believes that Chedure Sanders has dumped between $300,000,000 in the NFL draft interview process.
Widely regarded as one of the game’s greatest wideouts of all time, Carter led the NFL by receiving three touchdowns, earning three All-Pro selections and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013.
Sanders fell into the fifth round of the draft, eventually being selected for the Cleveland Browns’ 144th overall pick, finishing the former Colorado quarterback’s two and a half days of painful wait.
Carter said: “You’re going to work interviews. He was very worried about what his outfit was. His necklace was a grand of over 100 and I wasn’t sure he was the face of their franchise.
“The truth is, he was sure that even for those with less talent would be better off moving in a different direction.
“He dumped at least $30-50 million.”

Why did Chedur Sanders fall in the fifth round?
There are many reasons due to Sanders’ fall, and the main one is thought to be his “qualified” attitude. Three teams reportedly took him off the draft board.
The NFL assistant coach revealed that Sanders was the “worst formal interview” he’d ever had, explaining that he took unnecessary bags, didn’t play on time, had horrible body language and blamed his teammates.
The team didn’t think he was as good as he made himself. He was predicted to be the first round pick with potential landing sites for the New York Giants (No. 3), New Orleans Saints (No. 9) and Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 21).
League raters described his accuracy and arm strength as good but not very good, pondered the lack of threats in his running, and noticed that his short throws tend to wobble and come out, which raised concerns for teams running quick timing routes.
Dion, the father of Chedur, the current head coach of Colorado, won two Super Bowls in his Hall of Fame NFL career, touting him as a top five pick in a solid fight, publicly saying that his son will sit in the season if a certain unwanted team drafted him.
Dion appears to have passed the same strong self-confidence that he has in his son, but it appears to be shown as arrogance. Sanders opted out of workout combinations, rejected multiple team interviews and showed a lack of respect for the draft process.
