Shedeur Sanders Insists He’s Maturing, Immediately Eats Paste
CLEVELAND–During his media day Wednesday afternoon, Shedeur Sanders was asked what he’s seen from the Saints’ defense.
“Um, yeah, I’ve seen a lot,” he replied, grinning. “When I smile, just know that means… something. I’m maturing, you know what I’m saying? I’m maturing.” He punctuated his answer by eating a handful of paste.
And while some critics viewed Shedeur’s reponse as clear evidence he has not matured at all since his watch-waving antics of the past, sports media personalty Colin Cowherd saw signs of real progress.
“Just listen to the maturity of him, how he has grown… Remember when he got drafted? I said he was just unserious. He’s not a bad kid, but he was just unserious,” Cowherd continued, pointing to the young QB’s own comments during the media session as evidence of that change.
“In the past, his response would have sounded like this: ‘When I, you know what I’m saying, smile, you know what I’m saying, just know that means, you know what I’m saying, something, you know what I’m saying’. So the fact he only said ‘you know what I’m saying’ one time? That’s called maturing.”
And in spite of the fact Shedeur eating a dollop of paste is something a toddler might do, Cowherd considered it a sign of growth. “Sure he ate paste, but the old Shedeur would have also shoved a crayon up his nose and licked the window.”
At press time, Shedeur was seen shoving a crayon up his nose and licking a window.
