Ah, football drama—gotta love it, right? So, here’s the scoop about Shedeur Sanders and another dude from Alabama who’s been stirring up some locker room gossip. We’re talking about Jalen Milroe here. Apparently, he’s been getting some side-eye from scouts and seriously rough reports pre-NFL Draft. Like, what else is new in sports gossip though?
Anyhow, NFL insider Tom Pelissero (a name that sounds like he should be a character in a spy novel, doesn’t it?) dished out some tea from one of those “anonymous” NFL coordinators. You know, the folks who never want to put their name on anything juicy. This stealthy coordinator had a mix of compliments and some, uh, less-than-flattering comments about Milroe. The guy’s like the Road Runner out there with his 22 mph speed, but accuracy? Not his best friend, apparently.
“He’s super fast but couldn’t throw straight if his life depended on it,” this secretive coordinator said—or something along those lines. And get this, they also heard that if Milroe decided to stick around at Alabama, his teammates might’ve packed their bags faster than a getaway driver. That’s some high drama, right? Like the sports version of a soap opera.
There’s some added spice to the rumor stew—hearing something like, “He wants to be this superstar pocket quarterback, but his thing is speed.” Honestly, who doesn’t want to be the hero with the most toys, right? But the notion that his own teammates weren’t exactly his fan club? Spicy.
Look, benching is a thing in sports. It happened once to Milroe by none other than Nick “The Legend” Saban in the earlier fall of 2023. But then he bounces back like a rubber ball and leads Alabama to victory, clinching both the SEC title and a playoff berth. That’s not exactly a guy sticking pins in his teammate’s voodoo dolls, right?
Apart from coaches occasionally raising an eyebrow (or voice) at his turnovers, there wasn’t much smoke about bad blood among teammates. Coaches tend to have strong feelings about turnovers, and honestly, who can blame them? If there’s any truth in these whispers floating around, it might put a dent in his NFL debut—or even his draft vibes.
But hey, whether these rumors carry weight or are just swirling air, they definitely spice up the pre-draft buzz. What will actually happen? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, we just grab our popcorn and watch it all unfold.
