Video: Shedeur Sanders 'Not Really Tripping' Over 2024 Heisman Trophy Finalist Snub
Shedeur Sanders isn't too torn up that he wasn't named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.
The Colorado star quarterback said on his podcast, 2Legendary with Sheduer Sanders, that he has all the validation he needs and said he'll be more than happy if his teammate, Travis Hunter, takes home the award.
"I'm not really tripping on it. Honestly, I don't need other validation to know who I am," Sanders said (2:45 mark). "So I don't really care. As long as they give at least one of us the respect we deserve, that's all that matters to me. If I won an award, it's on behalf of the team, the o-line, the receiving core, because without those guys I wouldn't be able to do it. So if Travis (Hunter) wins an award, it's because of the team. We're not selfish people to where we just care about our own accolades... If Trav wins the Heisman, I feel like I won the Heisman because we're all part of something."
Sanders had a Heisman-caliber season, throwing for 3,926 yards, 35 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. Both his yardage numbers and touchdown numbers ranked near the top of the list in all of college football.
Ultimately he didn't receive an invite to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. Instead, Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami quarterback Cam Ward were named finalists.
