Bucs Legend Reveals Honest Shedeur Sanders Take

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers watched with the rest of us as Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders suffered a historic slide in this year's NFL Draft.Once thought to be the sure-fire No.

2 pick to the Cleveland Browns, Sanders slid to the fifth round and became a Day 3 draftee as the Browns finally selected him with the No.

144 overall pick.Former Buccaneers safety and Super Bowl champion Dexter Jackson can relate, as he thought he would be selected higher than he was after an impressive senior campaign at Florida State.Jackson appeared on Roto Grinders with Ben Mendelowitz and said he hopes Sanders can use his draft slide as fuel for his NFL career."I was supposed to be drafted a lot higher than where I ended up.

I hope Sanders does what I did and uses it for fuel.

He should have a chip on his shoulder, and he should write down the name of every quarterback who went ahead of him and put that list on the back of his bedroom door," Jackson said.

"Thats what I did so the list was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last thing I saw before I slept.

Every time I woke up, my first thought was to outwork those guys every day."Jackson listed some other players who were selected late in the draft - or not at all - and who made the most of their opportunities."Shedeur was a phenomenal player in college, and he absolutely can be a great player in the NFL.

He took a lot of hits but always kept coming back and kept playing hard," Jackson continued.

"He shouldnt let where he was drafted affect his goal of wanting to become a starting quarterback on a Super Bowl-winning team.

There are plenty of stories of guys not being the first choice but being the best choice.

Tom Brady was a 6th-rounder.

Kurt Warner was bagging groceries."Jackson continued that he's a big fan of Sanders and hopes he finds success in the league.

He also said there could be room in the organization for both Sanders and the Browns' third-round pick, quarterback Dillon Gabriel, especially due to the Achilles injury suffered by Deshaun Watson and his uncertain future with the franchise.Related: Bucs Trade For All-Pro CB Pushed by NFL.comRelated: Mike Evans Projection Means Bucs Bad News.
