Part 3/9:
Sanders articulated the challenges Neighbors has faced: "I feel like they are trying to paint him a certain way because I say he gives them an opportunity to do that." The conversation hinted at the evolving relationship between college and professional athletics, where young players often find themselves in the media's crosshairs, a dynamic Sanders is familiar with due in no small part to his famous father, Deion Sanders.
As a quarterback, Sanders has been exposed to media training from an early age, a drastic shift from the traditional college football experience. Observers have debated whether Sanders can handle the New York media's intense scrutiny. However, his maturity and calculated speech suggest he is poised to handle that pressure if he receives the opportunity to lead the Giants.
