Shedeur Sanders, the former Colorado quarterback likely to go early in the 2025 NFL Draft, came to Howard’s defense. “I don’t understand y’all hating on (Howard),” Sanders posted on X. “He just won a natty. It’s hard to throw to WR’s that you don’t know, everyone run routes different !”

With the NFL scouting combine wrapping up, Shedeur Sanders jumped to the defense of a fellow quarterback. The former Colorado QB and projected first-round draft pick spoke up after Ohio State quarterback Will Howard was criticized for his performance at the combine.
