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.”

Panthers optimistic injured captain Aleksander Barkov could return for Game 3
SUNRISE, Fla. — Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice indicated on Saturday morning that his injured captain, Aleksander Barkov, could play in Game 3 against Tampa Bay later in the day.“He has to take warmups,” Maurice said a couple of hours before the scheduled 1 p.m. ET puck drop. “He has to get through it. We think he’s good.”AdvertisementOn Friday, Maurice said Barkov hadn’t been ruled out for Game 3 but also hadn’t yet been cleared.The defending champion Panthers lead the series, 2-0.Barkov, one of the NHL’s best two-way players, was injured in the third period of Game 2 when he was walloped by a blind side hit from Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel.

Muller sinaliza reforço milionário que pode amargar reserva em 2025: “Esquema cruel”
Muller, em podcast no YouTube (Reprodução) Ciente do período de adaptação, Muller considera que Vitor Roque está devendo no Palmeiras. Jogador mais caro da história do futebol brasileiro, o camisa 9 ainda não balançou as redes, algo que contrata ao momento de protagonista de Flaco López. Neste cenário, a falta de encaixe envolvendo o estilo de Abel Ferreira pode seguir dificultando a vida do atacante. “O Vitor Roque está devendo. Pelo investimento que foi feito, ele tem que mostrar mais. Tem (fase de adaptação), mas o esquema do Palmeiras é um pouco cruel para ele. São muitas bolas cruzadas. Não é a especialidade dele.”, disse Muller, no programa Gazeta Esportiva.

Závod vyhrála domácí Michelle Gulyásová, která i po vyřazení parkuru a zavedení překážkové dráhy navázala na olympijský triumf z loňských her v Paříži, kde disciplína s koněm byla v programu naposledy. Hlaváčková při své premiéře pod pěti kruhy skončila desátá.Právě takzvaný „obstacle“ se české juniorce v Budapešti povedl nejhůře. Před závěrečnou kombinací běhu a střelby byla v osmnáctičlenném poli finalistek šestnáctá a osmým časem si v konečném pořadí mírně polepšila.
