Kiper: Sanders Overlooked, Simpson Hyped

0:00It's March 27, I'm Cory with The Story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. ESPN draft expert Mel Kuiper Jr. remains a big supporter of Cleveland Brown's quarterback prospect, Shadour Sanders. He pushed hard for the former Colorado star last year and believes Sanders got overlooked in the draft process. Kuiper made his stance clear when talk turned to Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson as a possible Browns pick. Kuiper suggests the Browns like Simpson because of his ties to head coach Todd Munkin from Munkin's time at Georgia. Fans and analysts have mixed views on these quarterback options. Kuiper clearly favors Sanders and seems frustrated at the idea of pivoting to Simpson. Right now, the near-jets look like the frontrunners for Simpson if his upcoming workout impresses them. Kuiper is not sold on Simpson's hype, keeping his focus squarely on Sanders as the better fit for Cleveland. With draft season heating up, expect more debate over these quarterback paths as teams finalize their plans.
