Shedeur Sanders is facing criticism following comments he made while speaking to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine this Friday.
The Colorado quarterback is headed to the pros after an impressive two-year spell with the Buffaloes, having previously played at Jackson State, where he also saw a good measure of success.
Sanders is projected to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and has dropped several hints regarding where he wants to play over the last few months, with the Giants and Raiders thought to be among his preferred choices.
While he will be playing without his father, Deion Sanders, for the first time, he’s keeping some of his mannerisms, including Coach Prime’s confidence and self-belief.
“We went from Jackson State to Colorado and changed two programs back to back. You don’t think I could come to an NFL franchise and change a program again?” he asked reporters after explaining his adaptability and his being able to fit into any offensive scheme.
“It’s history, it’s always going to repeat itself,” he added.

Shedeur’s comments were clearly too much for some fans.

“what did he change? he won on a minor level and played meh in colorado,” another claimed.
“What did he do in Colorado? All of his college ball was against easy opponents but when they played a tougher opponent they all don’t show up! Colorado was just hype that’s all,” said a third.

Still, there were plenty of others who praised his attitude.
“Big fan of this young man’s confidence,” someone commented.
“I prefer Ward, but I think that’s a pretty dope quote,” said another.

“I want the Giants to draft this kid. Bring Prime Jr. to NY.,” a fan wrote.
Of course, Shedeur Sanders was only a part of what brought about change at Jackson State and Colorado. Wherever he goes, he’s going by himself, so it’s going to be a lot tougher turning a struggling NFL franchise around.
