Bad at: formal interviews. Good at: playing football.
Got it.

Seems the people who interviewed him didn't even think he had too much potential for the NFL lmao
One longtime NFL assistant coach said his time with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. ... But the biggest thing is, he's not that good.
Whew. He went in! Curious to see who ends up taking Sanders lol (not my team pls)
I've never understood why taking "unnecessary sacks" is bad. On 3rd holding the ball allows for big plays I'd risk losing 10 yards for a chance to gain 40.
I don't think people would call third down an unnecessary sack.
On 3rd down (out of field goal range) if your choices are dump it down for a short gain and no first, or hold it and risk getting sacked but have the opportunity at a big play the penalty for the sack is not that high. Punting from your 40 vs your 30 doesn't change much, NFL punters can all punt over 65 yards.
NFL punters don't average anywhere close to 65 yards. Even if they did, coverage usually can't cover that much distance that quickly. Long punts usually equal long returns. So 10 yd will absolutely make a difference. You just described a situation in which it would be a stupid sack to take. You'd be sacrificing field position. Not to mention the injury risk and wear and tear build up on your quarterback. You're using a video game logic.
Average isn't the metric to use, punters don't try to kick it their farthest every punt, most punts are within a punters range.
10 yards of field position is worth a chance at a big play.
And why pray tell do they not try to kick it the furthest every punt?
10 yards of field position could be the difference between winning and losing.

Touchbacks
10 yards of field position could be the difference between winning and losing.
So could the 40 yards they gain by no throwing the ball away.
Touchbacks? That's the only reason?. They punt from their own 20 they're worried about it going out of the back of the end zone? Come on man. You don't have to play dumb like this.
I’ve always felt he’s a little overhyped because of his pedigree
Yeah, I feel the same way about Marvin Harrison Jr. But hey, if they can be half as good as their parents, that's still mid level starter or quality backup.
Marvin has legit ability. Dude is a big WR with great hands who runs precise routes. I think he's taller than his dad. Watched him in college. Haven't seen him much since he's turned pro. I don't know if his QB is exactly a guy who "throws on time" to route running WRs but likes to improvise more.
Half as good as their parents probably means they’d still be above average players.
Deion said he wants Shedeur to go to a good situation. I have a sneaky suspicion he's tanking his son's stock intentionally so he can go to a better team.
