Hints as to why the Giants passed on Shedeur Sanders are starting to trickle out.

In a podcast appearance Thursday night, The Ringer’s Todd McShay revealed that Giants brass didn’t get the best pre-draft impression from Sanders.

“Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit,” McShay said.

“An install package came in. Preparation wasn’t there for it. [He] got called out on it. Didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it.”

NFL sources had similar sentiment for The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy after Round 1.

“Sanders’ slip is attributable to both flaws in his game and the brash attitude he displayed during the pre-draft process,” Dunleavy reported.

I could be completely wrong, but my guess based on context is probably that "install package" is like, here's a sample of the playbook, our thoughts on how you fit in the offense, info on the organization, etc. Shedeur didn't familiarize himself with the provided material, was called out for not doing so, and resented that his (lack of) action had consequences. That resentment rather than say, remorse or humility, caused the coach and the rest of the team to lose interest in him.

Ok that makes sense. It helps that you described who was doing what, because that was also confusing for me.
