Shedeur Sanders wrapped up his college football career with a strong final season at Colorado. The former Buffaloes quarterback threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while completing an NCAA-best 74.0% of his passes. He also added four rushing touchdowns. His efforts earned him All-American honors and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. He also took home the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.
Leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders-the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders-was projected to be one of the first two quarterbacks off the board alongside Washington State’s Cam Ward. Ward went No. 1 overall. But Sanders suffered one of the most unexpected slides in recent memory. He fell to Day 3 and was eventually selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round.
Buffalo Bills legend Bill Goldberg and his son, Gage-who played with Sanders at Colorado-recently shared their thoughts on the slide.
Former professional wrestler and Georgia football football player Bill Goldberg LAPRESSE
What Colorado linebacker Gage Goldberg said?
Fans weren’t the only ones stunned by Shedeur Sanders‘ monumental draft slide — his former college teammates were also flabbergasted … including Colorado Buffaloes linebacker Gage Goldberg.
Sanders and Goldberg were teammates with the Buffaloes for one season in 2024. Goldberg opted to go to Colorado after initially committing to Alabama as a preferred walk-on.
As a redshirt freshman, Goldberg appeared in three games. His debut was in Colorado‘s 34-7 win over Arizona. He finished the year with one tackle on just 11 defensive snaps played.
Even though Goldberg‘s exposure to Sanders was limited to just their one year, he saw the best version of him. The 23-year-old threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and completed 74.0 percent of his attempts.
What was the reaction of the WWE Legend?
TMZ asked the 19-year-old LB — son of WWE legend Goldberg — for his thoughts as he watched Sanders, who was projected to go as high as third overall, fall to the middle of the 5th round, where the Cleveland Browns selected him with the 144th pick.
“We were all shocked, the whole team was,” Gage told us.
And, it’s not just Gage who has a connection with Shedeur. Goldberg goes way back with the QB’s dad, Deion Sanders … as they were teammates in the ’90s with the Falcons.
“Shedeur has talent on top of talent,” Bill said.
“Sometimes people read into things that shouldn’t be read into it, and it is what it is. It’s gonna turn out to be a success story no matter what.“
Gage piggybacked off pops’ statement, saying the hate Shedeur and his brother, Shilo, have gotten will be used as motivation to kick ass on the gridiron.

Braves blow six-run ninth-inning lead to Diamondbacks in brutal loss not seen since 2022
The Atlanta Braves this season have had some pretty lows lows, but what happened Thursday afternoon might well be rock bottom. At least, they have to hope so.The Braves had leads of 6-0 through three, 9-3 through six and 10-4 through eight and still lost to the Diamondbacks, 11-10 (box score). Credit, obviously, to the D-backs offense for never giving up and putting the hurt on the Braves' bullpen. This was the first time this season a team won the game when trailing by six or more runs entering the ninth inning. Teams were previously 0-159 in this scenario. In fact, looping back to the start of 2023, teams had been 0-1,078 in this situation. This was a special comeback. On the Braves' end, this was their largest blown lead since Sept. 5, 2018, when they had a 7-1 lead over the […]
How to watch Paraguay vs. Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina in World Cup qualifying: Live stream, start time
Getty Images Argentina may have already booked their place at the 2026 World Cup, but behind them, CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying has been quite a grind, with only three points separating second-placed Ecuador from sixth-placed Colombia. South American qualifying can always be a tense affair, but with Brazil and Uruguay struggling to establish themselves behind Argentina, things have been more open than in years past.Of course, with Carlo Ancelotti debuting as the new head coach of the Brazil national team, quite a lot could be on the verge of changing. He has plenty of work figuring out the balance of the squad, but just getting the best out of Raphinha and Vinicus Junor will go a long way to turning things around for Brazil. Venezuela also seeks their first World Cup appearance in history. Currently sitting seventh in the standings, they […]

Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers limbo ends before it could get truly white-knuckle
The start of free agency came and went. The draft. Now organized team activities. Surely, Aaron Rodgers can’t skip an entire offseason and just show up for Pittsburgh Steelers training camp.Right?Right?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWell, that's right. Rodgers will reportedly officially sign with the Steelers on Friday. If that sounds late, well, it could have been even later based on team messaging back in April, when just a few days before the start of the NFL Draft, both head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan suggested the quarterback room didn’t need to be complete until late July.“We go to camp with four quarterbacks,” Khan told reporters on April 23. “Right now we have two on the roster. All options are on the table in how we acquire those last two. I assure you we’ll have four when we get to [training camp […]
