Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders criticized the media following reports that the New Orleans Saints took offense to his demeanor during a recent interview. Sanders suggested the coverage of his smiley attitude was overblown and shifted blame toward media narratives.
The incident occurred on November 8, 2026, when Sanders addressed reporters after learning that Saints officials were reportedly unhappy with his upbeat approach during a team meeting. He maintained that his personality should not be scrutinized as a negative factor.
