Recently, a post was uploaded on the Colorado Buffaloes page via Deion Sanders Jr.’s ‘Well Off Media’ on YouTube. It starred Shedeur, stretching on the training ground in Boulder. The cameraman focussed on Shedeur, asking him about his take on the anonymous Pac-12 coach. That’s when the star QB lashed out at rival coach for being unreasonable.
Shedeur Sanders Responds to Anonymous Coach’s Criticism
In a recent report, an anonymous Pac-12 assistant coach expressed his views on Shedeur Sanders’ performance via The Athletic. He especially addressed the high sack rate that the quarterback has been experiencing. Implying that Shedeur holds on to the ball for an extended period, the coach commented that he had his eyes on a better completion rate.
“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,” the anonymous assistant coach said.
According to the coach, Shedeur Sanders has also altered his playing style during the season. He has shifted to retreating more frequently. Explaining the same, he said, “He’s playing a little different than he did earlier in the season. Before he showed that he was willing to step up and escape through the B-gaps. Now, he’s retreating more.”
In response to the comments, Shedeur Sanders took to Deion Sanders Jr.’s ‘Well Off Media’ video to share his thoughts. He confidently dismissed the perspective while also clarifying that he would like to address all criticism directly. He added, “Yeah, I don’t do that. Oh, he got too much of a brain. So that coach whoever said that is goofy, he is lame 100 percent. Bro I wish I was on Instagram, I would respond to that whatever coach said. That is goofy.”
Shedeur Sanders is undoubtedly having a phenomenal year for the Colorado Buffaloes under his father and HC Deion Sanders. He is leading the Buffs towards something special and is not even considering moving to the NFL at the moment.

The stats highlight his efficiency, but it remains true that he facing quite a difficulty with his sacking rate. The harsh comments from the anonymous coach do provide an interesting perspective on the Colorado Buffaloes QB. However, despite the criticism, Shedeur Sanders appears to be strong-headed like his father and is ready to face Arizona State in Week 6.
