“I’ve seen what Dad did in the NFL, ‘Now it’s my turn,” Shedeur Sanders iterated on the Up & Adams show. It showcased his confidence in his own leadership abilities. During the show, the Colorado star QB also delivered a strong warning to NFL insiders and teams who were snooping on his skills and potential for his draft selection in 2025. “It’s a 10 out of 10… but if other teams let me slip to them, that’s on them,” he said. But, despite his warnings, NFL reporters continue to reveal outrageous facts and opinions regarding the Colorado quarterback’s draft prospects. Draft Analyst Todd McShay also joined in. McShay raised warning lights for teams considering letting this opportunity slip through their fingers. But it seems that he did not have any idea that he would receive such hate from fans for his exclusive offensive remark.
During The McShay Show, host McShay questioned the draft potential of Shedeur, who carries himself with a swagger reminiscent of his Hall of Fame dad, Deion Sanders. The Ross Tucker Podcast’s official X page highlighted the draft analyst’s remark.
During his podcast, the college football analyst stated that Shedeur has nothing impressive beyond his last name, Sande͏rs. “I think like, unfortunately, or just it’s the nature of the business, not even unfortunate. The nature of the business is that he’s the son of a legendary football coach. They’re on every commercial every Saturday. They’re, you know, everywhere in the media. And so everyone’s intrigued. I don’t think if his name was different, I don’t think we’d have this much attention on him. because you know what he is at the end of the day? ” Todd remarked.
“If his name was different, I don’t think we’d have this much attention on him…”

Besides commenting on his talent, he also trolled him for his ‘physical traits’. “He’s a really good football player, who does not have an elite physical trait,” he further added. With his remark, he made his stance clear that just because of his dad’s name, he received such attention as an NFL draft prospect.
But Sanders’s last season performance can not be overlooked. He left many in awe by recording 37 touchdowns for 4,134 yards in 2024. And becoming a NFL key prospect is not a surprise, as he impressively maintained a 74% completion rate throughout last season. His meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin last week raised many eyebrows regarding his draft selection.
Additionally, he made waves for receiving high draft preferences from the accomplished NFL teams. The Browns and Giants are also eyeing Sanders as both franchises face a quarterback crisis, holding the No. 2 and No. 3 overall picks, respectively. And, Sanders’s coming from Colorado has impressive stats. He seems like the perfect fit for the team. Many fans also noticed his potential during his college career. Hence, they strongly criticized Todd McShay for his controversial take on the Colorado Buffaloes’ QB.
Fans criticize Draft Analyst Todd McShay for his offensive remark on Shedeur Sanders
Soon after the Draft Analyst threw the bomb on the standout QB, fans got annoyed. Taking to the comment section, they showcased their annoyance. One of the fans expressed his hatred for McShay while highlighting Sanders’ college pergormances. “Ask AI, who where he ranks. Out of Eli, Mahomes, Burrow, Rogers, Dart, Ward, Allen – Stats + Level of Competition, Sanders ranked 5th. If his last name was Allen, he’d go first in this draft,” the fan commented via @ LcHunt2 account.
Additionally, another X user also exhibited his exasperation over McShay’s disrespectful statement on ‘black quarterback,’ Shedeur Sanders. “The crazy thing when you’re a black quarterback is you can’t play the game like Joe Burrow, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady! If you do, white dudes like Todd will disrespect you but this same talent scout will disrespect Lamar Jackson pre-draft too, so take that how you will,” @Nosebleedstv mentioned.
Another supporter also showcased his displeasure with the draft analyst’s remark as he highlighted Sanders’s impressive college stats. “Shedeur Sanders is the most accurate QB in the history of college football. How do you have a 74% completion % and not have an elite trait? You phony pieces of garbage promote this filth,” the user ranted.
In addition to this, another user also trolled Todd McShay as he said that Sande͏rs has no elite traits. “The disrespect continues is getting out of hand, it’s like they don’t want the kid INT the league, what are we talking about. One of the most precise QBs in college football, and now they are saying he has no elite traits is mind-boggling. First round pick all year long to not good,” the fan said. “If he had a different last name you would be praising him , like you did Zack Wilson bozo,” another comment read.
With such comments, fans’ frustration with Todd McShay is clear. Only time will tell which team drafts the showstopper. Nonetheless, his supporters are eager to watch him silence his critics in the big league.
