Yes, an SEC defensive player of the year nearly went undrafted because he was going to be a locker room distraction.
Why does that matter?
Sanders is a problem child pain in the butt. That may work at some positions, but NFL teams don’t want Deion calling them and an entitled brat. He’s going 6-7th round.

What draft are you talking about? The NFL is only in the second round.

I am speaking about Michael Sam. 2013 draft, 7th round. He was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Ah thanks for the clarification. I can’t disagree with the distraction but I think it’s a talent issue as well.
He will prob get drafted sooner than 6-7 though.

Sam was too small for a defensive end and wasn’t fast enough to be a worth while OLB ala Jihaad Campbell.
He went nearly undrafted because he had the least desirable measurables for a 3-4 lineman of like….all time.

Some that may be true, but he had a productive preseason with the Rams and was still cut. The locker room distraction issue was very much a piece of Sam's situation. Not all of it, but it wasn't a non-factor, either.
