Shedeur Sanders may be a bit too much online. A few weeks ago — when the Raiders were in line for the top pick — he was teasing everyone on social media with silver and black stuff and talking about how great Allegiant Stadium is.
Then the Raiders beat the Jaguars in week 16 and dropped out of position for the top pick and were replaced by the New York Giants.
Not coincidentally, on Saturday, Sanders was showing off a pair of red, white and blue New York Giants cleats prior to Colorado facing off against BYU in the Alamo Bowl

The Buffalo would get trounced by the Cougars 34-14, by the way.
The next day, on Sunday, the Giants went out and beat the Colts, dropping New York from their catbird seat in line for the first overall pick all the way to fourth overall, behind the Patriots, Titans, and Browns who all have lower Strength of Schedule than the Giants.
I’m not suggesting Sanders’s teasing is the kiss of death for the team in line for the top pick. But perhaps that he should stop with the teasing and just, you know, go about his business. He might look a bit less foolish. Not to mention like he’s more serious about football than social media or just being taken first overall.
