After Shedeur Sanders' comments, Jason Whitlock came up with a theory about whom the rookie was talking about while stating he was better than other starters this year. He believes that Coach Prime's son is trying to take shots at Dolphins QB1 Tua Tagovailoa, who is currently 0-3 with the team.

"I think Shedeur Sanders clearly wants to play a game this year," Whitlock said on the 'Fearless' podcast (Timestamp- 3:55). "He's basically trying to speak it into existence, a trade. ... Here's who I think he's really talking about. Tua Tagovailoa down in Miami."

"If I were down there Mike McDaniel, I could save your job throwing the ball to Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. I think that he's trying to stir up trade interest, and he's shocked that no none's interested in trading for him. And part of the reason why no one's interested in trading for him is because he won't shut up. He won't play the role that he's actually in right now."
