Part 4/11:
The conversation shifts to Shador Sanders, the Colorado quarterback known for his high profile and prominent last name. Connor dismisses the idea of trading for Sanders, citing his style of play—holding the ball too long, taking heavy hits, and needing a pro-style offense—that doesn't align well with the Jets' current system or their desire to avoid unnecessary celebrity distractions.
He adds that Sanders’ draft position and pre-draft scrutiny reflect underlying concerns about his fit and development. The Jets, he says, are wary of players whose style might not translate smoothly to their system or attract unwanted media attention, especially in the high-pressure environment of New York City.
