Speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Brice Butler, Shedeur said, “I’m biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me.” Sanders elaborated, “I don’t see a quarterback that went through as much adversity as me, that had four different OCs in four years,” drawing attention to the numerous difficulties faced in the previous season. 

Despite facing obstacles like frequent changes in offensive coordinators and a significant number of sacks, Sanders delivered impressive performances during the 2023 season. He further discussed how bearing the privilege of being Deion Sander’s son does not necessarily take the pressure of performance off his shoulders, “that’s a lot more adversity than you think, just even being the son of Deion Sanders.”
