NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday in his NFL draft quarterback breakdown that a longtime NFL assistant coach shared a headline-seeking quote seemingly meant to denigrate Sanders.
“The worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life,” the anonymous assistant exclaimed. “He’s so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates … but the biggest thing is, he is not that good.”
The quote runs counter to nearly every other NFL general manager and coach, who have spoken glowingly of Sanders throughout the predraft process.
Many called out the comment as blatantly false, and some went in on the fact Pelissero published it one day before the draft. Several others came to Sanders’ defense, namely, NFL analyst Kyle Brandt, who blasted the coach for remaining anonymous.

“I see entitlement in a grown professional who is going around anonymously destroying young athletes with very personal quotes anonymously as they’re about to realize their dream and become professionals,” Brandt contended. “Do not listen to that quote. That quote is bull crap. It’s news. It’s worthy. I hate that quote. Listen to Shedeur’s teammates, who kept picking him up over and over as he got the crap kicked out of him last year who don’t have negative things to say about him.”
Here are the reactions to the latest Shedeur Sanders slander, including Brandt’s full rant:
Kyle Brandt is triggered
The unwarranted hate is too much
Matt Rhule supports Shedeur
The people around Shedeur most, know best
Anonymity is not always the best look
Shedeur’s brother chimes in
Giants’ still in play for Shedeur?
