Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was considerably surprisingly snubbed for one preseason honor.
Sanders was not named to the Associated Press preseason All-American teams, it was introduced Monday. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck acquired the first-team All-American nod, whereas Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel acquired second-team honors.
It’s robust to say Beck and Gabriel don’t deserve the honors. Beck threw for 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns for the Bulldogs, whereas Gabriel threw for 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns as a member of the Oklahoma Sooners. By comparability, Sanders threw for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns, although his staff went 4-8.
The massive rivalry could also be between Beck and Sanders, who’re additionally considered as two of the highest quarterbacks within the 2025 draft class. Sanders is notorious for backing himself, and the All-American omission will most likely be considered as a snub by him. Add it to the listing of bulletin board materials that he most likely retains to himself.
