NFL assistant coach report on Shedeur Sanders: “He blames teammates, but the biggest thing is, he’s not that good.”
An NFL assistant coach has spoken out against Shedeur Sanders, saying “he’s not that good”.
Ahead of the hotly anticipated NFL Draft, one very interesting comment has emerged about potentially the biggest name in college football.
Shedeur Sanders is a rising star in college football and the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. While he could have a big future in the sport, some are not happy with the public attitude of the so-called ‘nepo baby’.
As a quarterback, Sanders began making waves at Jackson State University, where he showcased impressive levels of talent. After his father took the head coaching job at the University of Colorado Boulder, Shedeur made the team and quickly became the face of the Buffaloes’ football revival.

Shedeur “brash, arrogant, unprofessional and disinterested”
Tom Pelissero, an American football reporter for NFL Network, revealed that an unnamed Assistant Coach in the NFL said the following regarding Sanders took part in “the worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life”, labelling the player "so entitled" and adding that “he takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language."
Going even further on Sanders’ character, Pelissero reported that the coach even said “he blames teammates, but the biggest thing is, he’s not that good.”
As well as this, the BBC reported the following: “in March, some NFL staff said Shedeur came across as “brash and arrogant” as well as “unprofessional and disinterested” during his interviews at the Scouting Combine".
Shedeur’s father Deion Sanders was a Hall of Fame player in the NFL, and won two Super Bowls as a two-way player - he played on both defence and offence - during a stellar career at the top across many years.
