A crestfallen Shedeur Sanders enthusiast is suing the NFL for $100 million over the much-hyped quarterback’s disappointing fifth-round draft pick, claiming he suffered “emotional distress and trauma… as a fan and consumer” because the 23-year-old phenom wasn’t selected earlier.
“It was immediate frustration,” the fan, who filed the federal lawsuit as “John Doe,” told The Independent, on the condition his real name not be published. “This guy was projected to be the first or second pick, no later than the top five, and to watch mediocre players be chosen before him… it was frustrating.”
