I would imagine it's true. They've recorded this type of stuff for years now and you generally see it posted when a player retires, about to retire, or gets inducted to Hall of Fame/Honors so that they can show you their "greatness" early.

I sure hope so. What's interesting is that both the Sanders family AND the Cleveland Browns are referenced. Both would have a vested interest in suppressing it. If it exists, you can bet it will somehow get leaked, haha.

Unfortunately, the New York Giants are privately owned, so it's not like getting a FOI order to release the Joe Mixon footage. We need some patriotic American who believes in making a quick buck to sneak it out.

"Great" is being so fucking stretched here.

But I'll allow it for the shot at Johnny.

I am going to be doing other things this summer besides following Stefanski press conferences, but for now…

I simply shrug before leaving this thread again for a week or 3.

He's is pretty cool and if young football players are looking to emulate someone Hunter would be a really good choice. He made that woman's day just by being kind and well mannered.  I read a story about his background recently and this is exactly who he is all of the time according to those who know him the best. I have no team in the NFL so I'll just watch his games and hope he does well playing both ways.

I have a super unpopular opinion:

I actually think Sanders is going to be a great QB in the league (top 10 QB, if not an MVP candidate one day) and think he’s going to have a 10-year+ career. He’s impressed me with his positive attitude with all the chaos that’s happened and he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously IMO. If prediction markets would let us buy a stake in a players career he’d be a huge value buy for me, based on how he’s pretty much been buried before playing a snap.

Why would the Browns, the organization that gave Watson an enormous guaranteed contract while the stories were starting to come out about his legal issues, worry about the Sanders  draft interview video be released when they long ago established they don't know what the fuck they are doing?

They only thing it might establish is how many alarms of a dumpster fire, but regardless they are still a dumpster fire of an organization.

1) Cleveland QB historicals beg to differ with your hypothesis 

2) The reason he was taken as late as he was as second QB by Cleveland speaks to the value bet they placed. See #1 for excellent history in that regard.

3) He and his father along with some help from the mediots did all the digging of that grave. 

4) He made the bed, but you're of course welcome to lie in it with him.

Edit - 5) Amusingly, I had a similar conversation with less media flair about Johnny 8Ball with my BIL the Thanksgiving after he was drafted. He really only follows the NFL and thought it would work out great. We haven't spoken about it since.

It also seems pretty evident the head coach didn't support this decision. Cleveland, we're not Detroit!

Graduated CU with honors (3.8 GPA), too.  First CU player ever who was an Academic All American and a first team All American.  According to him, all he does is play football, watch film, play video games and fish.

The raw skill was never an issue. He's definitely got the tools to turn into a very good NFL QB if he can get his head straight.

General question on the graduation GPA. 

If I were to start my academic career two years elsewhere, say UTSA,  transfer to UT and then graduate with my degree does the second school count the grades of the first school in the GPA graduation?

Really a silly question, but I never really thought about it before and was curious.

Counterpoint: he was drafted by the Browns

I think it varies by school.  no idea how it really works, TBH.

i can only speak to how it worked 20 years ago : No 

also if you take classes at ACC while already enrolled at UT , the ACC credits transfer in but the GPA does not. I may or may not have taken advantage of this

Good point.  CU is the one that put out that stat.  I wonder if Academic All Americans wasn't a thing yet? He certainly would have qualified for it.

EDIT: Yep, Academic All Americans wasn't a thing until 1952

I think he was runner-up for Heisman, too, so I'm guessing he made every possible All-America team...

You forgot student body president, and Rhodes Scholar.  All nice bullet points on your resume, but not sure if it gets a jersey number retired or any thing like that.

Forgot? Nahhh, just didn;t know the one and ignored the other.

On the other hand, yippee-kai-yayying it up over that distance in spacetime isn't far removed from glorying in a #1 ranking from 1939, so there's that...

Well, did Bryon White storm the beaches of Normandy without any help?

Didn't think so!!!

That is an epic misread of his character.

I am curious which organization named Sanders and academic all-American.  

Here is a link to the https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/cosidaallamerican.sidearmsports.com/documents/2025/1/27/24AAA_Football_Final.pdf and Travis Hunter is on the first two teams, but not Sanders unless I missed the name.

There are all-district lists, but I am too lazy to go through those. 

The Academic AA talk was about Hunter, not Sanders.

Try to keep up.

At all the schools where I've worked, the combined GPA would be called your "overall GPA" and then there would also be a school-specific GPA for your current school.
