As ugly as Colorado’s 28-10 loss was the University of Nebraska on Saturday, the behavior of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was worse. Sanders’ sense of entitlement and lack of maturity were on full display at the end of the game and in the postgame press conference and every NFL team needs to be wary of this behavior when the 2025 NFL draft rolls around.
First up we have the end of the game when Sanders had been replaced in the starting lineup and with two minutes left to play, decided to jog off the field and to the lockers rather than stay out with teammates and shake hands with the Cornhuskers after the game.

But as immature as that might have seemed, what he did after the game at the postgame press conference might have been worse. Sanders threw his offensive line under the bus for not doing a good enough job protecting him.

Someone should remind Sanders that he’s not going to get those guy’s best effort if he’s calling them out publicly. The Buffaloes have a lot of football left to play but it’s clear Sanders puts himself above his teammates.
