Shedeur Sanders is back in the headlines, but this time the conversation is not about his arm talent or big plays. A recent claim from Cleveland sports media personality Jason Lloyd has sparked debate about Sanders’ preparation habits, particularly his film study.
Lloyd suggested that Shedeur Sanders may not put in enough work behind the scenes. The comments quickly spread across sports media and social platforms, raising questions among fans. But others are pushing back, pointing to evidence that tells a different story.
Jason Lloyd Questions Sanders’ Preparation
During a recent discussion, Lloyd shared what he says he has heard from sources about Sanders’ approach to studying the game.
“I’ve talked to so many people and heard so much about him. That he’s not very good,” said Jason Lloyd referring to Shedeur Sanders.
He went further with criticism about Sanders’ football IQ.
“Doesn’t watch film. Doesn’t know when he’s hot, doesn’t know what he’s looking at. He didn’t play well,” added Jason.
Those comments created instant reactions among fans who have followed Sanders throughout his college career. Many questioned whether the criticism reflects reality or simply media opinion.
Lloyd Shows Support for Dillon Gabriel
While questioning Sanders, Lloyd also praised another quarterback option, Dillon Gabriel.
“I actually do think Dillon is going to be competent. He can complete passes and gets the ball out quickly and not turn the ball over,” said Jason.
He also expressed confidence in Gabriel’s mental approach to the game.
“In terms of mental side of the game, I have no concern on Dillon,” said Jason.
Because of that comparison, some fans believe Lloyd may simply prefer Gabriel’s style of play. That perception added fuel to the debate surrounding Sanders.
Thanksgiving Video Shows Shedeur Sanders Studying Film
Critics questioning Shedeur Sanders’ preparation faced pushback after an older clip resurfaced online. The video shows Sanders studying plays during a family holiday.
In the clip, his brother Shilo Sanders recorded the moment while joking about the situation.
“Studying his plays before the big game,” said Shilo Sanders while filming Shedeur Sanders who was busy studying plays by watching on his laptop during Thanksgiving.
Shilo also added a humorous comment aimed at Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski.
“Stefanski I even study my plays on Thanksgiving,” Shilo added the hilarious comment while laughing heartily.
The moment showed Sanders focused on preparation while most people were celebrating the holiday.
Media Narratives Around Shedeur Sanders
The discussion highlights how narratives often develop around high profile quarterbacks. Sanders has drawn heavy attention throughout his career because of his performance and his connection to Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
Supporters argue that clips like the Thanksgiving video contradict the claim that Sanders avoids film study. They believe some media voices may be pushing their own narratives about the quarterback.
At the same time, debates like this are common for quarterbacks entering the spotlight. Every habit and performance detail gets analyzed closely.
For now, the film study debate surrounding Shedeur Sanders continues online. Fans remain divided while analysts keep discussing the young quarterback’s preparation and future in the game.
