He must have some extremely dense bones then cause I'm not buying this
People are just built differently tbh.

I'll use Cowboys as an example. Dak is 6'2" 235 lbs. Tony Romo was 6'2" 230 lbs in his prime. Dak looks "beefy" while Romo never looked that big but they're similarly sized.

Aikman was 225 lbs and 6'4" but seemed bigger than that. Not as thicc as Dak :dame: but not pudgy like Romo.

Prime was "lean" yet played CB at 6'1" 195 lbs which is getting into Richard Sherman territory but no one thought of Prime as a "big" corner even though he was. Shedeur kinda got his pops build so he can probably carry a lot more weight than some folks.

For Sanders...combine, Senior Bowl etc., is what will matter.

The NFL scouts are going to be intrigued and will wanna see him up close. His competition doesn't matter....can he process information quickly, make good adjustments at the line and consistently place the football where it needs to go with decent arm strength? If the answer to these questions is yes....he'll be fine.

I could see a team drafting him and letting him sit a couple of years.

Everyone you're listing looks their weight. Shedeur doesn't, and in certain cases it's not unusual for a player's weight to be bumped up on listing if lightness is a concern at the next level. I wouldn't be surprised if he was 200 or less.

Shedeur looks better than a bunch of starting D-1 QBs. He'll be a 2nd round pick at worse, if he continues playing well.
