Shedeur Sanders’s college career was compared with that of Baker Mayfield by ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, and Robert Littal, BlackSportsOnline founder was having none of that. Orlovsky remarked that Sanders and Mayfield have two very similar college football careers, mainly in respect to the controversies and scandals surrounding the players.
Baker Mayfield played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders in 2013 and then for the Oklahoma Sooners from 2014 to 2017. While his stats were definitely sky-high, Mayfield was no stranger to controversy. During his time with the Sooners, Mayfield was criticized for making an obscene gesture towards Kansas players in one of his games. He also planted the Oklahoma flag at Ohio Stadium after winning a game against Ohio State.
“If you are comparing Baker Mayfield and Shedeur Sanders’ personalities in college. That lends me to believe you didn’t actually follow Baker’s college career. Shedeur looks like a choir boy in comparison to the shenanigans Baker was up to. Let’s be honest here. But what what I won’t allow is for any confident black man to be label with terms that don’t fit them because you are too lazy to do your job. Stay up black men don’t be afraid to be confident in your skills.” Robert Littal tweeted from his X account, criticizing Dan Orlovsky for comparing Sanders and Mayfield.
