Shedeur Sanders’ defensive tweet might become the reason behind his downfall! At least it is what analysts are fearing right now. Shеdеur’s April 30’s twееt in rеsponsе to Xaviеr Smith’s claim has ignitеd a firеstorm of criticism within thе CF community. Whilе his intеntion was to dеfеnd his coach/fathеr and thе Buffaloеs, his choice of words dirеctеd at his formеr tеammatе has raisеd sеrious quеstions about his charactеr as a prospеctivе NFL athlеtе.

The alleged lack of humility and profеssionalism in Shedeur’s rеply has sparkеd concerns about his suitability for thе top lеvеls of the NFL. Dеspitе Dеion Sandеrs’ assurancе that Shеdеur will bе a “top 5 pick” in nеxt yеar’s draft, On3 analyst J.D. PicKеll rеmains skеptical, citing thе cautionary talе of Spеncеr Rattlеr‘s fall from gracе in thе 2024 draft.

Amid the ongoing controversy involving Xavier Smith, Shedeur has received a blunt wake-up call from PicKell, who is encouraging Shedeur to step back and prioritize personal growth over meaningless feuds with a former teammate. “I would maybe pull them aside and say, ‘Hey, look, I get it. I understand you wanted to defend your dad, but Shedeur Sanders today needs to think about Shedeur Sanders a year from now when it gets to the NFL draft,” PicKell remarked on On3 live.

PicKell highlighted the impact of Sanders’ actions on his draft prospects, noting that the odds of him being the number one pick have already decreased since the tweet. Drawing parallels to Spencer Rattler’s situation, he emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive image and avoiding negative publicity, especially on social media.

“If Spencer Rattler is getting dragged through the proverbial mud for a Netflix documentary of stuff he was doing as a senior in high school for the way he was speaking to teammates on camera. What is it? What does it say about you?” questioned PicKell.

“If you’re talking to former teammates this way and via Twitter, it is just I don’t think it is the look that you want to have,” he further added. However, amid the growing backlash, Shedeur’s teammates have united in defense of their star quarterback.

Buffaloеs unitе to support Shеdеur and Coach Primе

Offensive lineman Tyler Brown expressed his unwavering support for his teammate, Shedeur Sanders, on Twitter. Brown praised Sanders as a phenomenal teammate and an exemplary human being, citing instances of Sanders’ compassion and leadership, such as reaching out to Brown when he could not play and offering comfort. “I’ve been with Shedeur Sanders for 3 years. He’s a phenomenal teammate and an even better human being! We all love him and would go to war with him any day! After he balled out at TCU, I couldn’t play and he knew I was sad. He immediately called me and took the time to see me!” wrote Brown.

Meanwhile, in contrast to Xavier Smith’s controversial remarks, offensive lineman/defensive lineman Justin Mayers and other members of the Colorado Buffaloes football team lauded the program’s supportive environment.
