Justin Jefferson just ignited another firestorm in the NFL-all because of Shedeur Sanders. Just when it seemed the controversy surrounding the former Colorado standout had finally settled, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver reignited the debate, dragging two of the league’s biggest names into the discussion.
The Shedeur saga hit its peak on the third weekend of April. After months of speculation, mock drafts, and heated debates, the Cleveland Browns selected the son of the legendary Deion Sanders-but not before letting him slide all the way to the sixth round, with the 144th overall pick.
The unexpected drop sent shockwaves through the league, sparking criticism from players, analysts, and fans alike. More than a week later, Jefferson threw another log on the fire-this time, pulling Russell Wilson into the debate.
“The Giants should have drafted Shedeur”
In a video posted by @dalvinthetruth on X (formerly Twitter), the host pressed Jefferson on where Sanders should have gone. Without hesitation, the Vikings star responded, “New York doesn’t really have a quarterback… The Steelers, Cleveland definitely need a quarterback, too.”
Heading into the draft, the New York Giants were widely expected to be among the top contenders for Sanders. But in late March, they signed Russell Wilson, effectively shutting the door on any chance of selecting the Colorado quarterback. Jefferson’s comments indirectly cast doubt on Wilson’s ability to lead the team moving forward.
Meanwhile, his mention of Cleveland-the team that eventually drafted Sanders-raises another battlefront. The Browns currently have five quarterbacks on the roster, led by the injured Deshaun Watson. Despite the crowded QB room, Jefferson insisted that the team still needs a quarterback.
Pittsburgh faces a similar dilemma. Mason Rudolph appears to be the presumed starter, but he’ll be competing with Skylar Thompson and rookie Will Howard. Jefferson’s remarks not only took aim at a franchise that many thought would draft Sanders in the first round but also indirectly challenged Rudolph’s standing as Pittsburgh’s QB1.
Shedeur’s uncertain NFL future
Analysts remain divided on Cleveland’s next move. With Watson sidelined for most of the season due to an Achilles injury, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are expected to battle for the starting job.
Behind them, rookie Dillon Gabriel-a third-round selection-and Sanders could be locked in a fierce competition for the team’s fourth quarterback spot. But until head coach Kevin Stefanski unveils his long-term plans, Sanders’ NFL future remains a giant question mark.

Gol sofrido pelo Vasco na Sul-Americana deixa torcedores incrédulos; assista
Gol sofrido pelo Vasco na Sul-Americana (Reprodução) O Vasco teve uma partida para ser esquecida nesta quarta-feira (7). Atuando na Venezuela contra o Puerto Cabello, a equipe carioca, com um futebol apático, lidou com uma goleada por 4 a 1. Entre os gols anotados, o lance envolvendo Gerardo Padrón trouxe um sentimento de revolta. Mesmo sem uma estatura elevada, Padrón conseguiu ganhar de Lucas Piton pelo alto. Levando em conta a cabeçada próximo da baliza, Léo Jardim ficou incapaz de realizar a defesa. Neste cenário, a falha refletiu o péssimo desempenho do Vasco no duelo pela Sul-Americana.

Dodgers place Evan Phillips on injured list as their bullpen usage continues to spike
MIAMI — The bill is coming due on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ most troubling statistic in the early season. No team in baseball has asked for more innings from its bullpen than the Dodgers, who are already dealing with injury question marks in their rotation. The concerns have bled into their bullpen, as the club placed reliever Evan Phillips on the injured list Wednesday with right forearm discomfort.AdvertisementThe move was announced after the first pitch of an eventual 10-1 win over the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers are playing 10 games in 10 games. Wednesday’s marked the sixth and manager Dave Roberts said the stretch had already “redlined” some of their relievers.That group includes Phillips. The team’s saves leader a year ago, he missed the start of the season and all of last year’s World Series with a partial tear of […]
Revisions to roster limits in House vs. NCAA settlement propose ‘grandfathering’ in response to judge’s ultimatum
Attorneys filed revisions to the House vs. NCAA settlement Wednesday that would allow college athletic departments to exceed the settlement’s proposed roster limits through voluntary “grandfathering” of any athletes who were previously assured a roster spot.According to the revised proposal, any athlete who has been or would have been cut as a result of the settlement can be “grandfathered in,” meaning those athletes will not count against the settlement’s roster limits for the duration of their college eligibility. That includes incoming freshmen for the 2025-26 academic year who had a previously offered spot revoked due to settlement preparations.Any decisions to retain these impacted athletes would be made at the discretion of individual schools, but the revision allows for “grandfathered” athletes to maintain that status if they transfer to different schools. The latest revised filing has been made in the House […]

Steve Kerr, Chris Finch start lobbying officials 1 game into Warriors-Wolves series
MINNEAPOLIS — One of the most surprising aspects of Golden State’s Game 1 victory over Minnesota on Tuesday was the Warriors’ control of the glass against the bigger, stronger Timberwolves.Golden State outrebounded Minnesota 51-41, with 18 of those boards coming on the offensive end. The sharp elbows and sweat equity generated more possessions to offset 39.1 percent shooting from the field and helped the Warriors take a 1-0 lead in the series despite only having Steph Curry for 13 minutes in the game because of a hamstring injury.AdvertisementTimberwolves coach Chris Finch was profoundly disappointed in the intensity and focus from his team in the opener. He also believes the Warriors were getting away with murder while battling Rudy Gobert for rebounds.“They do a lot of fouling, shoving, holding, pushing and tackling Rudy,” Finch said after practice Wednesday. “That’s clear.
