Former Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders is making noise with Miami workout footage

It’s been a weird offseason for Shedeur Sanders.

Between speeding tickets, social media takes, and questionable mentorship, it feels like the former Buffs star has drifted into the NFL conversation more for what’s going on around him than for what he does best: play quarterback.

Then Miami footage dropped.

Suddenly, all the noise is a little quieter.

The video, posted yesterday, shows Shedeur training down in Florida — and while it's just a workout, the tape says a lot about Shedeur. He’s throwing on time, on target, and with confidence.

From ball placement to velocity, everything about the session looked sharp. He’s driving the ball to the sideline and hitting receivers in stride. He's showing improved fluidity in his release. It’s clear he's been working.

“Ball placement immaculate,” one fan commented on the video.

“He should’ve been a damn Dolphin,” another wrote.

And that's what we've been wanting to see as a bounceback. After a rough few weeks off the field, it looks like he’s starting to understand the magnitude. He needs to be very action-based during those setbacks, and this video helps.

Just days after news broke that Sanders had been cited twice for speeding — once clocked at 101 mph — he took a moment during a charity softball game in Ohio to own up to his mistakes. Another reflection of maturity.

“I’ve made some wrong choices,” Shedeur said, smiling but serious. “I can own up to it. I learn from them.”

Because those back-to-back tickets weren’t just bad press. They were a gut punch to all of us rooting for Shedeur to rise above the critics and focus on the QB competition.

He’s in a tight QB battle. He’s a fifth-round pick fighting for a roster spot. Every rep matters. Every off-field decision is under a microscope.

Missing a court date, racking up two citations in 11 days, and getting linked to Deshaun Watson as a mentor? That’s not how you win the starting job.

But to his credit, he’s still working. The Miami training footage was necessary. It reminds us why he’s still in the conversation. Why he has real NFL talent. He looked sharp, fluid, and laser-focused.

And the softball game? That was the human side of him. Fans swarmed him for autographs. One young voice shouted, “You’re QB1! Nobody else but you!”

The Browns have been staying quiet publicly. But rest assured — the coaching staff is watching. Not only his footwork and progressions, but how he handles himself day-to-day. How he responds to this adversity matters.

One more off-the-field mistake and he could get cut.

But there’s still time to continue to write this new chapter. Rookies report on July 18, and Shedeur has two weeks to lock in. He needs to show accountability and keep the headlines about football

One video and a quote won’t erase the speeding tickets. But maybe, just maybe, it marks the moment showing he has turned the page.
