Shedeur Sanders' throwing motion was trending on social media after a video of him patting the ball at Colorado pro day.

Some NFL players argued that Sanders could “pat the ball and be just fine” One NFL player said: “ Tom Brady literally the king of getting the ball out fast when he threw. So actually no patting is not the difference”.

A pat in the normal rhythm of a throwing motion isn’t the same as a pat to buy time diagnosing disguised coverages.

A pat can be a common one, one among many, and not often one on which a defense can capitalize.

A deep safety may have a “half-second tick” head start in certain coverages, the former DC said.
