Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is off to a blazing start to the season, even garnering some Heisman Trophy consideration through five games. However, that level of production also has come with criticism, as one anonymous Pac-12 coach accused Sanders of padding his statistics at the expense of the team.
“I think they want to rack up some stats for Shedeur. He really holds on to the ball a long time. I think he takes sacks because he doesn’t want to affect his completion percentage,” a Pac-12 assistant coach told The Athletic earlier this week.
That comment made its way to the Colorado team, and Sanders had the opportunity to respond. In a behind-the-scenes video recorded by Deion Sanders Jr. and Well Off Media, Shedeur brushed off the anonymous coach’s criticism.
