“The hate is real”: Fans speculate teammates were hating on Shedeur Sanders after locker room video surfaces

A video featuring Shedeur Sanders in the locker room is currently circulating. The clip has ignited discussions among fans regarding potential friction between Sanders and his teammates.

The situation remains unclear.

Shedeur Sanders might be used to being in the spotlight, but his latest viral moment has nothing to do with game-day highlights. A locker room video making rounds on social media has fans convinced there’s tension brewing between Sanders and some of his teammates. From awkward stares to cold body language, viewers didn’t hold back with their theories, sparking a debate over whether the Colorado quarterback is truly getting the support he deserves from his own squad.

The viral video has fans convinced Shedeur Sanders’ teammates weren’t feeling him


A clip shared by @RichAndRay33 on X racked up thousands of views after showing Sanders in the locker room while several teammates appeared less than thrilled by his presence. Instead of celebrating alongside the star QB, some players were spotted giving cold looks, prompting fans to label the vibes as “weird” and “jealous.”
Another user, @KollegeKidd, reposted the footage with a similar take, and the conversation quickly snowballed from there.

Social media is split: Is it just locker room banter or is there real tension brewing?


Fans wasted no time jumping into the comments to share their theories. Some called out obvious “hater energy” and claimed Shedeur’s status and his dad being head coach Deion Sanders—could be creating friction in the locker room. Others argued people were reading too much into a short video and that locker room dynamics are always complicated, especially when cameras are rolling.




Shedeur Sanders hasn’t addressed the clip, but this isn’t the first time his spotlight has sparked debate


While Sanders hasn’t responded to the viral clip, it’s definitely not the first time his presence has stirred up conversation and it probably won’t be the last either. As the face of Colorado’s football program and the son of Coach Prime himself, Shedeur has become a walking headline, attracting both hype and heat ever since he touched the ground. Whether this locker room moment shows actual tension between teammates or was just a weirdly timed, out-of-context clip is still up in the air, and fans are split.
And honestly, locker room dynamics are complicated. Without hearing straight from the players involved, everything is just speculation and social media theories. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned by now, it’s that wherever Shedeur Sanders goes, cameras follow, eyes roll, and the internet definitely takes notes.
