Everyone can say whatever the f–k they want. I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well. I said, ‘Dude, whatever happens, wherever you go … that’s your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft.”
That gave the impression to be the message that Sanders repackaged earlier than his second apply.
