Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders has playfully warned Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward that he will soon be attacked by the media. In a training video released by Deion Sanders Jr., Shedeur Sanders outlined how he, his brother Shilo Sanders, and teammate Travis Hunter have all been attacked by the media. He then explained that Ward’s time for this would come in the future.
Sanders and Ward are widely expected to be the first two quarterbacks off the board in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. With numerous quarterback-needy teams at the top of the draft order, it looks as though neither player will need to wait long to hear their name being called by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
What Did Shedeur Sanders Say to Cam Ward?
The popular X profile “@SkoBuffsGoBuffs” posted the previously explained video by Sanders Jr. and provided a brief description.
“Shedeur Sanders told Cam Ward that he hasn’t been crucified by the Media yet like him 😂 ‘You ain’t been crucified yet, Your time is coming’ 🎥 : @DeionSandersJr,” the post was captioned.

Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward’s 2025 NFL Draft Projection
In Pro Football Network’s latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Sanders was selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans while Ward was picked No. 3 overall by the New York Giants.
Regarding Sanders, Derek Tate states, “I’d be shocked if Brian Callahan isn’t willing to jump at the opportunity of bringing in a new face of the franchise under center. Shedeur Sanders threw for 7,364 yards to go with 64 touchdowns over his two years at Colorado, but did see his interceptions more than triple from his junior to senior year.
“Sanders is far from a perfect prospect with some limitations in his arm talent and eyebrow-raising responses to the media when things haven’t gone well in Colorado, but his flashes of processing, anticipation, and off-script creation all project favorably to competently running an NFL offense.”
Regarding Ward, Tate detailed the strengths: “Ward’s arm elasticity, velocity, and play extension abilities have him loaded with franchise altering ability under center, which gives Daboll plenty of tools to work with under center after hitting a home run last year by drafting Malik Nabers.
“Ward is likely to come with some growing pains when adjusting to the structure of NFL passing games. His fluidity as an athlete renders his throwing mechanics to come across a bit inconsistent and plays out of structure a bit too frequently.
“But it is hard to argue with some of the results we saw from him in 2024 with 39 touchdowns passes and 4,313 yards through the air. His ability to extend plays and manufacture explosive plays off script is part of what makes him a great prospect. One that feels like a worthy investment of the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.”
