Shedeur Sanders doesn’t want to hear about the rumours about him dropping in the draft… but won’t go to avoid possible humiliation

Shedeur Sanders isn’t losing sleep over the noise surrounding his draft stock. Once in the conversation for the No. 1 overall pick, the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has seen his name slide in mock drafts.

Cam Ward now appears to be the favorite to go first, and some analysts project Sanders could drop out of the top 10 entirely. But if you ask him, none of it matters.

In his usual confident style, Sanders addressed the chatter head-on. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he explained that while people might not always like what he says, he’s not about to change for anyone.

“I truly don’t care about speaking like that,” he said.

“It was definitely something I had to do because of the new product-the new everything that’s about to come out with them. It’s truly exciting, though.”

Sanders has been clear in his NFL interviews

As the draft approaches, Sanders has made waves for his upfront approach during interviews with NFL teams. While some see it as arrogance, Sanders sees it as honesty.

“When I go visit these coaches and franchises, I ask them what I really think and how I feel,” he said during a recent appearance on The Insiders on NFL Network.

“Some get offended, some like it, some don’t. But they know exactly what kind of player-and person-they’re getting with me.”

Rather than putting on a front, Sanders is using the pre-draft process to evaluate teams as much as they’re evaluating him. It’s all about finding a mutual fit, he says.

Still, his resume speaks for itself. Sanders threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions last season, helping Colorado to a bowl game. He’s been linked to the New Orleans Saints (No. 9) and Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 21), but no matter where he ends up, the quarterback is clear on one thing: his game will speak louder than any headline.

“I know what I bring to the table.”

One of our correspondents up in the north east has written about the panic setting in over their search for frontmen — here is an excerpt:📝 With only 11 days left in the window, Newcastle, a club fabled for its iconic No 9, does not possess one.In a literal sense, no player has been designated that squad number following Callum Wilson’s departure last month, but in a spiritual and emotional sense, too, their on-field ‘No 9’ is also AWOL. Isak, as things stand, is on course to stay, but even if he does, nobody can be certain what version of the Sweden international Newcastle will see, if any, on the […]

Shedeur Sanders never had a shot? Stefanski’s QB call sparks controversy

Joe Flacco is the Week 1 starter for the Cleveland Browns. That's official. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stood at the podium on August 19 and said the veteran "earned it."

Fans were promised a wide-open battle between Flacco, Kenny Pickett, rookie Shedeur Sanders, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. On paper, it sounded like a genuine contest. On the field, though? It never really played out that way.Joe Flacco thinks beating Sanders for the Browns starting quarterback job is business as usualSanders Stuck on the SidelinesFrom the jump, Sanders was a bystander more than a contender.

Dennis Schroder firmly believes he will never be as beloved as Dirk Nowitzki due to a personal peculiarity
