Shedeur Sanders’ throwing skills have been heavily criticized, among other aspects, by NFL scouts and analysts. On Monday, Emmanuel Acho, NFL analyst for Fox Sports, raised his concerns with Chase Daniels on ‘The Facility’.
NFL experts have remarked time and time again that Sanders’ throwing skills are not up to par. Indeed at the NFL Combine a couple of months back, Sanders refused to showcase his passing and throwing skills, and chose to only give interviews. This gave plenty of fodder for criticism. However, at the recent Colorado Pro Day, Sanders indeed put these reports to shame and made several beautiful passes. Still, the reports continue to be circulated.
“Shedeur Sanders, his arm, I got questions. I just got questions. Travis Hunter would have people beat and he’s waiting for it. Horn [Jr.] would have people beat and he’s waiting for it.” Emmanuel Acho said on ‘The Facility’ on Monday to Chase Daniels.
Don’t be surprised if Tyler Shough ends up as QB2.

Shedeur Sanders’ Jersey Retirement Defended By Kay Adams
Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders’ haters were quite busy over the weekend, trolling the player as the Colorado team officially retired his No. 2 jersey. Sanders was not the only player whose jersey was retired, but wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was also given the same honor.
While there were indeed many who were happy for the two young players, several trolls came out to criticize the ceremony, stating that Sanders definitely did not deserve the honor. In a recent episode of her show ‘Up & Adams’, Kay Adams came out to defend Sanders.
According to Kay Adams, it is definitely not the fault of the players that the management chose to retire their jersey numbers and not the ones of other star players that the university has produced.
While some haters called out the Colorado Buffaloes for honoring Shedeur Sanders, whom they labeled ‘undeserving’, a few were unhappy and surprised that the university would be ready to retire two jersey numbers at the same time. One of them was Chad Johnson, who himself is a Colorado alumnus, who stated that it was a surprising move of an otherwise ‘conservative’ management.
