Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders avoids truth about his denial of Ravens draft pick

Shedeur Sanders didn't want to talk about it.

And honestly, that's fair. The former Colorado Buffaloes star and current Cleveland Browns' No. 3 QB is focused on the here and now of him trying to make a name for himself in the NFL.

But he had to be asked about the report that came out Sunday morning.

ESPN's Adam Schefter had reported that the Baltimore Ravens wanted to draft Sanders with the No. 151 overall pick in the fifth round of April's NFL Draft.

The report said that Sanders rejected that selection, expressing that he didn't want to be stuck behind Lamar Jackson for a long time.

The Browns went on to pick Sanders four spots later, at No. 155.

Sanders was asked by reporters about this after Sunday's loss.

This is what Sanders said, via ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi:

"My response is I'm focused on the now. I don't really talk about anything in the past and whatever happened in the past, it is what it is. I'm more focused on now. I'm more focused on how this game that we just gone and had and figuring out how to move forward from now."

Totally fair take from the rookie.

It's probably not the last time he'll be asked about it, but Sanders is in the right frame of mind about it and will keep focusing on making a name for himself in the NFL.
