College tape rules all in the evaluation process of draft prospects, but off-the-field stuff matters just as much (and sometimes more). Part of it is the “hearts and smarts” that Mike Tomlin often refers to, but there is also a process of evaluating a player’s past, and any external factors that might affect business on the field. When it comes to QB Shedeur Sanders, there has been a fair amount of discourse throughout the pre-draft process about his father.
Former GM Doug Whaley doesn’t think that should be a concern if the Pittsburgh Steelers draft Shedeur Sanders.
“I think any thought of that should be quelled right now because Shedeur is coming on a visit,” Whaley said Wednesday via 93.
