To make matters worse for him and his family, Sanders was prank-called by an imposter during a livestream Friday night.
While he and his family live-streamed day two of their NFL Draft party on Twitch Friday night, Sanders was seen answering a phone call that he assumed was from a general manager making the decision .
Then the caller told the eager young athlete that he would "have to wait a little longer," as Sanders' smile quickly faded.
NFL teams' decision not to draft Sanders has prompted mass controversy and debate throughout the draft, and even prior to it as rumors of Sanders falling down draft boards became public.
An anonymous NFL coach recently told the NFL Network 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," the coach continued. "But the biggest thing is he's not that good."
Another longtime AFC executive echoed that sentiment, telling the outlet, "It didn't go great in our interview. He wants to dictate what he's going to do and what's best for him. He makes you feel small."
