Biasness Against Shedeur Sanders’ Exposed as Real Date of CU QB’s Claims of Being a Mix of Tom Brady & Michael Vick Revealed

“It’s a mixture,” Shedeur Sanders once said when asked about who he plays like: Tom Brady or Michael Vick. The irony? Shedeur Sanders was not only the most sacked QB this season but also the QB who got thrashed the most in the 2025 NFL mock drafts. Several drafts analysts have chimed in with their opinions of Shedeur Sanders not being the QB1 in the 2025 NFL draft, dropping his draft stock too low. After all this, it was only natural for the fans to be enraged when Shedeur Sanders compared himself to legends like Tom Brady and Michael Vick. Amid all this, there was one confusion that was the reason behind the hate that Shedeur Sanders was garnering.

Barrett Sallee, an experienced draft analyst, cleared out the confusion. “I have no idea why people are aggregating that story about Shedeur Sanders comparing himself to Michael Vick and Tom Brady today,” Sallee wrote, with special emphasis on the word ‘today’. The comparison that Shedeur Sanders made was from an interview with Complex that dates back to November 9, 2023. The video was a resurfaced one, probably at a worse time for the CU QB.

Yet, Shedeur Sanders was not foreign to all the ‘hate’ he is getting now. He got it back when the interview was released as well. How Shedeur Sanders responded to the hate back then made all the difference. “I enjoy the hate,” the QB had said proudly to Complex, later adding the reason for it as well. “If they’re not talking about what you’re doing, you’re not relevant. So knowing that you got people hating on you, that means you’re doing something right,” Sanders believed. The response is the kind you expect coming from the son of ‘Prime Time’ Deion Sanders. The responses that the fans now get from the father-son duo are the opposites of this.

Shedeur Sanders’ polarising responses now

Shedeur Sanders could have avoided a lot of the hate he garnered recently just by adopting this cool and composed attitude. In the heated online altercation with former Buffs player, Xavier Smith. Smith, in his interview with The Athletic, criticized Deion Sanders and Co. brutally by bringing up the massive communication gap in CU.

Not only did the blaring communication gap in CU get highlighted, but Shedeur Sanders also got into the negative limelight following his response to Smith. “Ion even remember him tb. Bro had to be very mid at best,” Sanders tweeted, inviting all the hate against him. Following the comment, Shedeur’s abilities as a leader of the team, along with being a team player were severely questioned.
