Colorado head coach Deion Sanders had a good laugh about how son Shedeur answered questions regarding his spot in the depth chart after the Cleveland Browns benched starter Joe Flacco.
Shedeur remains the third-stringer behind new QB1 Dillon Gabriel and Flacco. How does he feel about that? Well, it’s anybody’s guess because he didn’t actually say anything Wednesday.
Deion seemingly approved, posting “Good 1 son” in an Instagram comment.
Shedeur’s approach was seemingly a nod to ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Rex Ryan. During Monday’s edition of Get Up, Ryan said the rookie “talks” and “runs his mouth.”
Ryan took particular issue with Sanders saying last week he’s better than some of the starting quarterbacks in the league right now.
Sanders is in a tough position because he creates news whenever he speaks publicly. And as Wednesday showed, he can spark headlines even when he doesn’t vocalize anything.
All of this is a good example of why so many teams balked at picking the former Colorado star in the 2025 NFL draft.
Maybe he proves to be a capable starting-caliber QB in the pros. For now, he’s commanding more attention than just about any third-string quarterback in recent memory.
