Shedeur Sanders assures that all is well with Cam Ward! The Buffs’ quarterback confirms that their recent altercation hasn’t affected their bond as signal callers.

During his Miami trip, the Buffaloes QB decided to get some practice reps and playfully poked the Miami QB for arriving late to a session. “We all start getting water, start getting on the phone,” Shedeur said. Cam responded, “Don’t bullsh**ting…I might’ve been the reason we was late but at least I got better,” as he quickly shut down Shedeur. Now, this banter fueled speculation of a quarterback feud. But Shedeur ensures no bad blood between them with a savvy Instagram move.

The Buffaloes quarterback posted an Instagram story featuring himself and Ward practicing together, tagging the Miami QB and showcasing a united front. Even Ward himself reposted his story! Shedeur also included some practice pictures in his “ICY” gallery, a collection of his Miami trip highlights. This cryptic display of mutual respect shows there’s no feud between the young quarterbacks. His dad, Coach Prime, and half-brother, Deion Sanders Jr., also reposted a message saying it’s just casual banter between the QBs.

While the words may have gotten a little heated, Ward clarified some points about Shedeur’s playing style. He poked fun at Shedeur’s throws, saying, “We throwin comebacks and you just loftin, you placin, you not throwin.” Ward even challenged Shedeur to a yardage duel, ultimately boasting his own higher total of 3735 yards compared to Shedeur’s 3230.

Despite the jabs at his abilities, Shedeur seems to be receiving some positive reinforcement elsewhere. 

An analyst has noticed commonalities between Shedeur Sanders and Geno Smith

Does anyone — like Ward — doubt Shedeur’s throws? The Buffs quarterback can easily silence the doubters with a flick of his wrist. This is, at least, according to NFL writer Daniel Jeremiah. Featuring Sanders in his “first look” at the 2025 NFL Draft prospects, Jeremiah praised how “he can make every type of throw.”

While Sanders led his team to a mediocre 4-8 record last year and was sacked a massive 52 times, his passing skills still shine. Jeremiah compared him to journeyman QB Geno Smith, noting, “Like Smith during his time with the Mountaineers, Sanders plays in a wide-open college offense that showcases his polish as a passer. Both Smith and Sanders have beautiful throwing motions and deliver a firm/catchable ball.”

This is some high praise for a college quarterback heading into the Big 12. Sure, getting sacked 52 times isn’t ideal, but it’s easy to overlook a little pressure for a prospect with this kind of throwing ability. After all, who cares about a playful jab from a fellow QB when you’re getting compared to a player who’s led his team to multiple bowl games? It seems like Shedeur has bigger things on his horizon.
