NFL drafts are just one day away, and one of the top NFL analysts has given shocking advice to Shedeur Sanders. The analyst has talked about Caleb Williams’ major mistakes in his first year in the big league and suggested that the Buffs QB learn from them. What’s the advice? Let’s dive in.
An NFL draft prospect analyst, Daniel Jeremiah, has argued the qualities and weak points of Shedeur Sanders. He started, “Look at the ball placement here, dropping this ball right in the bucket. Toughness, accuracy, those are his calling cards. Now the area to clean up, he drifts a lot,” while explaining a video where Shedeur was perfectly landing the ball in Travis Hunter’s hands.
But then started to critically analyse what problems he has with the style he plays. Jeremiah added, “He holds the ball. He takes bad sacks. He’s going to have to speed up his clock.” And then added that Caleb Williams also used to make such mistakes. “The pro speed will make you do that. Caleb Williams had to learn it last year because they’re used to getting out of things and making plays downfield by holding the ball longer. Happens with all of them. But here’s what I like about this pit.” And if we look at the stats he has in college football, Shedeur has been sacked for staggering times.

Caleb Williams has that same problem. He holds on to the ball too long, which mostly results in getting sacked. And if you haven’t seen his 2024 stats, the 2024 season saw 68 sacks of the Bears’ QB1, the first overall pick. Yes, you read that right, 68 times. And that’s what Daniel Jeremiah wants Shedeur to keep in mind.
In the 2024 season alone, though, he scored 37 TDs, which is great. But what about sacks? He was sacked 42 times in a single season, which is way less than his 2023 stats. In the 2023 season, Sanders suffered 52 sacks. In comparison to Cam Ward, the Miami Hurricanes QB has been sacked only 22 times. So, what’s the reason behind getting sacked so many times is arguably his style of patting the ball. Lots of scouts have pointed this out after the Colorado Pro Day. But according to Mike Schlereth, it’s all BS.
But, you know, it was somewhat okay till scouts or fans were criticising Shedeur. However, in a new update from Tim Pelissero, an anonymous coach has badly criticised Shedeur, and NFL analyst Kyle Brandt did not hesitate to bash that anonymous coach.
What’s your perspective on:
Are anonymous coach critiques of Shedeur Sanders justified, or just a cheap shot at a rising star?
Have an interesting take?
Kyle Brandt’s response to an anonymous coach’s fiery take on Shedeur Sanders
First up, let’s learn what that anonymous coach has said. Tim Pelissero has reported that the coach said, “The worst formal interview I’ve ever been in my life. He’s so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. Never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates…but the biggest thing is, he is not that good.” And after hearing this, Kyle Brandt couldn’t hold himself back from taking a jab at that anonymous coach.

Brandt started, “I see entitlement in a grown professional who is going around anonymously destroying young athletes with very personal quotes anonymously as they’re about to realize their dream and become professionals.” He also added, “Do not listen to that quote. That quote is bullcrap. It’s news. It’s worth it. I hate that quote. Listen to Shedeur’s teammates, who kept picking him up over and over as he got the crap kicked out of him last year who don’t have negative things to say about him.” And before even this former NFL legend, Mike Schlereth, also pummeled critics to not wrongly analyse Shedeur Sanders.

Mike Schlereth has said that all the analysis related to Shedeur’s style of patting the ball is “b——-”. He used that word because the QB’s arm strength and style of patting the ball are coachable, and it does not always invite trouble. Peyton Manning, Josh Allen, Jordan Love, and so many star players have/had that style of play and have succeeded in delivering one of the greatest plays at crucial points.
So, the current events are either trying to defame Shedeur or they are just making nonsensical examinations of a star player. But one thing is clear: Shedeur, with his competitive mind, will not forget these talks and must be trying to answer them as the season starts.
