Given that slide, it comes as no surprise there are now head-turning odds for Sanders when it comes to the first few selections. According to DraftKings, he is +750 to go No. 3 overall, +4,500 to go No. 4 overall and +5,000 to go No. 5 overall.

One longtime NFL assistant coach said his time with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. ... But the biggest thing is, he's not that good."

Sanders is the highest-touted guy in this year’s class of legacy players — those with relatives who also competed at the pro level — and it wasn’t just his dad propelling him toward the big stage. Sanders also may be the most connected draft prospect in history.
