Travis Kelce sent a strong message about the anonymous sources and NFL coach who criticized Shedeur Sanders and his evaluations before the 2025 Draft. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end discussed the situation on his podcast New Heights.
āI think whoever is the anonymous person thatās saying this should come out and say who they were. What is that about? Like, if youāre gonna leak that, be the one that says: āYeah, it just didnāt go well for us.ā Donāt say that youāre anonymous. Thatās so lame. I donāt know. I just feel like thereās no validity to it.ā
The Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs made it clear that if youāre going to leak a public evaluation about a player like Sanders, you should at least have the courage to say who you are or which team the young quarterback supposedly failed that test with.
Why did Shedeur Sanders not get drafted early?
At the moment, the reason why Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round of the 2025 Draft is still unknown. Whatās hard to explain, even for Travis Kelce, is how names like Dillon Gabriel or Jalen Milroe were called before Coloradoās star.
āWhen I saw him on film, I thought he was a way higher pick and I think thatās all that should matter. It doesnāt seem like heās a terrible person. It seems like heās just a motivated football player.ā
