You’ll do know Steve McNair was a first rounder who played every year in the swac so talent is talent period, and numbers don’t lie

Shedeur Sanders can READ defenses, and he’s ACCURATE. Two QB traits that translate at ANY level.

Let’s be honest, we won’t know the “truth” about Shedeur until the end of the season. I don’t care what anyone else says.

His zone reads, timing routes, and ball placement are on point. But we'll see how he does against real FBS pass rushers and DBs.

I believe he’s better than people think..

Shedeur has been under constant pressure that most will never experience being Coach Primes son. He has been through his ups and downs, he just handled it like a old man

Thx for giving Shedeur some credit Matt. I think Shedeur will have an excellent season. Over 30 touchdowns and no more than 14 interceptions.Darryl

Everybody in the comments talking about “Oh his level of competition wasn’t good” is eating their words. 510 yards and 3 touchdowns against a LEGIT team and a LEGIT defense because he’s a LEGIT QB

The primary gap with HBCUs and Power 5s is the trenches. You can easily find good skill positions players anywhere. He will be really good.

So much Success at JSU, no one mentions the 0-2 Bowl Record against the MEAC.

Like Deion said, the biggest difference between the levels stems from the linemen. The skill positions are relatively the same across mid-major and high-major.

Montana lemonius-Craig went off in the spring game and people labeled him a star he also got multiple sec big time offers 😴 meanwhile shedeur who looked the best in the spring game just got more hate

Great 1 Matt. As far as the competition goes, he played against and with similarly type skill levels players at JSU. He's being surrounded by( hopefully) teammates that bring the skill level up to meet the standards of the conference he belongs to. I think he'll be fine. Even at JSU he was playing on a higher level than most of their opps.

The questions are: Would he be where is today if his dad didn't follow him around from high school to Jackson to Colorado? Would he get the starting job if his dad wasn't the coach? Would his football knowledge be the same if his dad didn't teach him? I credit it to his dad. All the kid knows is football. Life experience will come later with age. He is fortunate that he doesn't have to work fastfood, manual labor, or dead end jobs in his youth. Unless his dad would make him for only briefly; things like that builds character. What I am implying is that he'd missed out on life experiences as a youth/young individual because of his fortunes with football. The kid maybe wouldn't be called cocky, but he is flashy with his chain, watch, automobile, and he has expensive teeth. Every right to be so with all the money his dad made playing and coaching + the attention any player gets from big time football. For him, life experiences would come maybe at the NFL level when he buys a house, files tax, gets a divorce, etc...Would any kid with the same mental and physical attributes, with the same opportunities, do what he did? ...This doesn't apply to just him or Sanders family. It applies to all kids that has capable parents. What makes somebody great is when nobody else can do given the same circumstances. After being knocked down many times and gets back up. Being lefted for dead and still survive. That is greatness.

Brilliant brekadown Matt!! Couldnt Agree more!! The only question is the adversity factor(which i personally believe his dad has been preparing him to face adversity his whole life). The ability to defy adversity is almost directly equated to how your parents have prepared you to face it. The fire that is igniting because of the doubters is the perfect fuel for flame for this team to prove some folks wrong. They believe in each other. 🔥 I believe in teams that believe in each other. And everyone there trusts that coaching staff to put these guys in the best postion to make these games close and pull out way more wins than is expected. If you compare rosters, they should win quite a few of these games. That defense is going to fly around with these new bodies. And the offense is not going to be stopped, generally. If Kent State gave Georgia the biggest fits they've seen all last year. I believe in Sean Lewis against any of the defensive coordinators in the pac-12, especially with the level of talent at his disposal now.. Pretty sure they have more talent than Kent State last year... I believe Coach Kelly, Williams, Sal, Hart, Mathis, and Coach Prime are going to have the defense ready to go at a top-notch level. Do you think Coach Prime is messing around when it comes to either side of the ball!? Really? Id trust special teams to not give up any big plays either. Thats the name of the game. Coaches know how they want their players to preform. They know how to implement and execute gamplans. And they have brought in guys that are ready to show and prove all the way around.

Matt he’s not gonna get rattled. Trust he’s not gonna lose that mental battle I think he’s gonna win a heisman trophy he’s that good. Look at the media day he’s were he was supposed to be at a power 5 school he coulda went to Alabama if he wanted too. He’s better then Caleb and you can mark it here he’s gonna be in a heisman conversation. He’s literally in the best situation he’s far above Caleb I think with just the amount of coaching he’s had from NFL coaches and qbs his whole life. His qb mentor is literally the Goat TB12 himself.

His first year he had a very less than OC and still put up good numbers. His second year they brought in a first time OC and his number went way up. Really looking forward to see what he will look like with a true power 5 OC and more WR talent than he had at JSU.

He was the #61 ranked player in 2021! Power 5 recruit

CU2 is Heisman caliber good. To answer the POWER 5 question, he'll be more than just fine. He will dominate the PAC12 ALONG with Caleb Williams. Put it this way, Shaduer may have not played against the best comp every Saturday, HOWEVER, he practiced against Travis Hunter , Isiah Bolden (drafted by Pats) and 3 other now NFL players EVERY DAY and DOMINATED in practice. Not to mention, his suporting cast is MUCH better at CU than JSU. He will excel and I cant wait to see it.

It’s no different than a high school player getting to start as a freshman… if he’s good … he’s good…

He performed well in the swac which we can agree is more difficult than the high school level. We don’t criticize incoming freshman for playing below swac level. He has two seasons let the young man show us what he can do first.

great video. I am a total Prime fam. I think Deon is not cocky he is brutally honest and humble. He learned that from his dad. Deon at his younger side was still humble but he showed his love of life. He knew how to grab what he wants and has fun while doing it.

What people don’t understand is in the HBCU lack is in the trenches on the skills position they are on point so it will be nothing for Shedeur

We must all not forget, if you watched Shedeur through a perfect ball in the endzone in the 2022 championship game with 1.5mins on the Clock and the TE dropped it. They would have won that game if the TE would have caught the ball. So, is Shedeur an NFL-caliber QB? Yes, he has all of the required skill sets to be a 1st round NFL QB in the 2025 draft. Oh and don't forget thanks to Deion, Shedeur was trained by Tom Brady himself... only the best NFL QB to ever play the game. The main question is, will they try to make up something false to block his draft status because he is another Sanders with outstanding football talent. No one should get upset because the Father and the Sons are naturally gifted outstanding football players hands down. Respect, the God-given talent and give credit where credit has been earned.

It’s not like he’s still at Jackson state and about to play a pac12 schedule. He’s on a pac12 team. The competition will offset itself because everyone around him will also be better

Douple upload matt in the building. Love the vids man.

The skill positions at HBCU’s aren’t as far off from the Power 5. The linemen are really the difference.

What I find interesting about him is nothing seems to phase him ,its like he's seeing things on a different level ,kind if reminds me of kobe

Shedueur is my FAVORITE COLLEGE QUARTERBACK and nothing will change that. He did something at Jackson State that has not been done in awhile at HBCU.💐💐💐💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👩🏽‍🍼🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Good call💯😂 He went CRAZY today

He got beat up in one game and kept competing. That gets my respect.. He's got the tools and the smarts. He's gonna be good at the next level.

Another PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME video!!!! Let’s get into it Matty Matt!

It def is a gap in hbcu talent vs pac 12 talent but i dont think its as big as everyone is trying to make it seem. If he dominated hbcu y wouldnt he atleast b good in pac 12. Plus not only is he playing against better talent but he also has better talent on his team.. Wr room and rb room is stacked.. Buffs are going to shock some ppl for sure…

Anyone named Sanders is awesome in my eyes. You have Deon, Barry, The Col. and so many more.

I feel like he’s gonna dominate

Funny how people disrespect Sheduer’s success at Jackson State yet some of those same people will act like a 5 star high school recruit will be the best QB in the nation once in college. Why is it okay to feel confident in a high school QB who played against kids who mostly will never play college, yet act like we’re crazy for expecting great things from Sheduer who has proven himself in high school and college?

This video aged like fine wine. Deion brought his luggage to CU, and he wasn't lying, it is 100% Louis

Shedeur is the best developed and polished QB in the country. Shedeur for Heisman...

The competition is not weak, it’s just Power 5 is better! Period

We don't know how good he is until after the season. This will be a really good test this season.

Good enough for Oregon Alabama n Georgia to offer this guy scholarship

Can’t wait for c the season to start

I think he’ll be good but I don’t think his stats will necessarily equate to team success because it’s Colorado. 25 TD’s and 7ints are good stats. I can see him doing that andn Colorado being 5-7 year 1.

I really think he will be fine. He us smart and has been playing the position for a long time n knows what he is doing.

BRO YOU DONT KNOW FOOTBALL, the biggest difference between the FCS and Power 5 is not talent but programs and facilities & Depth . The starters on most FCS teams can play power 5. But most of you all are actually casuals and dispute this. On top of that, he lost to the BEST QB IN FCS Q Richards , who will be a draft pick this year

I agree, Shadeur is a question mark. Even as a CU fan, so I'm pulling for the kid, you have to realistic. While the competition he was against at J state wasn't great, neither were his teammates, and he still dominated. He won't be perfect, but I don't think he will be a liability either. He has better talent around him, but how much better? We will have to see

Let's get it straight, it's gonna come down the the O line for him to be successful, that's obvious for any team. That said, 😂, good luck to a line who's never atef a down with eachother. Shadier will be running for his life this season.

This video aged very very well. I’m a buffs fan and you believed in him more than I did.

Josh Allen played FCS Ball, trey Lance, jimmy G, carson Wentz, Joe flacco, Steve McNair, tony romo, etc.... the skilled guys are just as taleneted . Its the big boys up front that makes a difference

Which is why his pops call him grown for a nickname,I think he’ll do fine

He'll get drafted regardless but this season will determine whether it's round 6-7 or 2-4. Don't think he's a 1st Rd Guy but could be a good back up in the league.

You have to look at his form, his foot work, how he delivers the football, and his accuracy. To me he is a little better than Caleb Williams but I am an Oklahoma fan, what do I know. He is not on Spencer Rattler level in any of those areas forementioned.

Very fair analysis, Matt. Excited for the season and to find out how good this team can be.

His play is going to be based off the playbook and he knows it well believe that. That's what's going to catch a lot of coaches off guard.

His dad gave him all the struggle he needed , listen to those court interviews

You can say he played weak competition, but on the flip side what kind of weapons did he have. He had the same players that you guys said was garbage. This is just for the people who say he won’t do it against better competition.

totally agree with you on all points. i think the only true unknown is how he will react to the speed and pressure at that higher level, I hope he has a great season. i think it will be good for all of college football. btw RTR

They never have this argument when it comes to the top juco recruits...

I want you to keep that same enegy for when Colorado actually does something this year. Im coming for you!

great analysis. You are a refreshingly wise 23 year old, my friend. I think he'll have a big season. Yeah, competition goes up, but his team is also better as well. Bigger OL, more great receivers, etc.

To say he hasn't had any adversity is BS, on the field? Minimum when he got concussed running the ball, knocking him out. Throwing multiple picks, and having to come back a few times including throwing a game tying TD to force OT. No matter the difference competition stakes are still high pressure is still there. Oh and off the field? His father having life threatening surgery, him missing games, Jackson state water crisises that affected the team. Oh S2 has been through a lot. He's not afraid of the big lights and outside noise and pressure. His dad is Deon Sanders, he's built differently. I'm not concerned about him. I'd his line holds up and gives him time, he has the weapons on the outside to make plays.

Only thing I'm concerned about is the chemistry is there going to be on point and they durability too last in big games

He will succeed. It’s college and his father helped make him the talent he is. The NFL though.. This young man has to grow into those bones. I think he can do it. His dad will help there too.

He was giving the starting quarterback job, he didn’t have to compete for it. He’s a 3 or 4 star recruit that lied about Alabama wanting him. Nick Sabin came out and did say that they looked at him but didn’t offer him a scholarship. Plus he couldn’t pass for 4,000 or 5,000 yards in a weak conference. He’s not a D1 quarterback or pro quarterback

Shedeur for heisman

Josh Allen played at Wyoming and didn’t put up these numbers. Shedeur was a 4-star QB in high school. An the fact he dominated weaker competition is a good prediction that he can be successful Power 5 level. Like Matt said, numbers will drop but he will be really good

We don’t know anything my guy. Let’s all just keep it real. Make a season recap episode halfway through the season.

I think Shedeur is gonna be a high draft pick and have a tremendous NFL career!

You should go back and watch those championship games they lost especially his freshmen year

Good ? Boy you just said he threw 80 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. That's freaking fantastic. So you think because he's going to another division, his accuracy , throwing power ,vision and awareness is going away. I'm 53

Also, remember who Shedeur Sanders is quarterback coach on the low is ( Tom Brady ).

Jackson State’s offense wasn’t a D1 roster either. The competition was about leveled to what Sheduer had to work with on offense besides Trav. This year it’s a new offense with an elite play caller with weapons all over the field. I feel like the run game is gonna lead to some 1 on 1’s on the outside.

He was a slow starter. I would ask you to look at his first half stats. Compared to his second half stats. That’s a major weakness

We will see how this season goes for him. Could be really good!!

Is All up to his Oline .. he played on a Stacked HBCU team .. it’s gonna come down to oLine play and depth .. don’t forget CU has a 🎯 on them these pac12 teams gonna play them HARD !!!!

I really like his personality, he has all the qualities that players like to follow in a leader in that he does not show any insecurities and cockiness. He seems approachable too and yet when he is not in the mood he will tell you to skip he needs alone time.

I honestly believe he will be playing on Sunday when he’s done at CU

He should just be thankful he’s in the PAC12, where defense is optional

PAC 12 is the league for qbs this year. We will see how he stacks up at the end of the year.

Who’s here after he threw for 500 Yard’s during Debut!!!!

I played in the SWAC, and there are a lot of good players, but we know that the level of competition in the SWAC isn't the same as a Power 5. Resource wise we can't keep up, you're not wrong there.

There’s one thing you all are leaving out and that is Shedeur had the best talent around him in the SWAC. The best WR the best OL and even the best Defense that kept the offense on the field. Shedeur is extremely accurate and when given the time he will shred you. I just feel it’s going to be a little different with the talent being pretty even in the P5.

Only difference between the FCS and the FBS is the Oline and Dline….those skills players translate with no issues. Which is why the power 5 schools are using the transfer portal to snatch players from the SWAC and all those other FCS conferences

Let’s be honest Mahomes would throw for 7600 yards 93 TDs against 5th graders

Let's get something straight when he was AT JSU They had a top defense in all of college football for 2 years straight that shedeurwas going up against in practice. They also said he's a top 10 pick in the draft.

The only difference is the OL & DL ….. some people just be talking

The only difference are the big guys skilled players are similar

Thank you for TELLING THE TRUTH!!! GREAT commentary......

Think the main difference is the size and speed of the trenches. I’ve watched the games and the guys have the athleticism but can’t win the game if you can’t win the trenches

You're showing his high school play and not mentioning it. Also if you truly researched you'll find that his dad was a high school quarterback and won the state championship. His dad has and had Shedeur training under the best quarterbacks in history including Tom Brady. Coach Prime is one of the best football acumens in all of football. Everyone will soon find that out.

I think they got the best running back room in the college football nation right now if you ask me

It's going to depend on how good his offensive line is to determine how good he's going to be 🏈🏈🏈

He's gonna be effective because he patterns his game after TOM BRADY.... for the most part... a conservative, short 10-15 yard passer.

Y’all all gonna see how big time grown is. Matt you can keep your underline hate too,we don’t need it. Go buffs.

Dude has not played one down of PAC 12 football. So far all we have seen is Hype if you AX Me!

He can read defense that’s what makes him special!

You people these days disrespect HBCU players but don't know the history of HBCU players in the NFL. I know you new people aren't historians. But look up Steve McNair for Alcorn state or Michael Strahand from Texas Southern University. Don't listen to me do your own research. The NFL used to always scout HBCU gems.

What difference does it make he will be good enough he took them all the way to the championship with Jackson State University two years in a row. He won three state championship all you haters trying to find something wrong just sit back and enjoy the show he will be successful. I hope that answers your question, why don’t you interview him and find out for yourself🏈🏉

He was Born to Do this I believe that’s the main reason he took the Colorado job his father

If he didn’t have the sanders last name so many people wouldn’t want him to fail. Deions success got people in their feelings same as king james son Bronny
