Russell Erxleben was the bigger shock, as he was taken by the New Orleans Saints with the 11th pick of the first round. The Saints had never had a winning season in their 12-year history when they picked Erxleben, and he definitely wasn't the missing piece as he lasted only five years with the team.

Auburn legend Cam Newton spoke on the matter, saying that Sanders was 'humbled' after what went down over the weekend. Newton touches on the fact that for the first time in Sanders' adult life, he will not be coached by his father Deion Sanders, and expects that mentality to follow him into his early NFL years.
