Shilo Sanders receives widespread support after ejection

Shilo Sanders has received plenty of support from different quarters after being ejected for that hit against UCLA's Carsen Ryan.

Deion Sanders was full of encouraging words supporting his son in his news conference after the game.

“He’s gotta keep it low. Just keep it low. If you keep it low, there’s no question,” Deion Sanders said. “I believe that he was not at fault because he turned his shoulder. He always does, he knows how to hit. And I told him I’m proud of him."

"He was having a heck of a game. He was being dominant on the defensive side of the ball, and I’m just proud of him. I’m sorry this transpired but I’m proud of his effort.

"I don’t ask my kids to be the best on the field, I ask them to give their best. And he gave us his best,” Sanders added.

Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was critical of Shilo Sander's ejection in a post on X.

"They have officially taken it too far! Ruining the game," Sherman tweeted.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski supported Sherman's assertion on X and described why the tackle by Shilo Sanders was the best possible tackle.

"Richard baby, I 100% agree with you," Gronkowski said. "This is coaching tape. That is the exact location on my body I would want to be hit in a situation like that, receiving the ball and not seeing my blindside.

"If he went low, the chances of him being out for the season from an injury goes wayyyy up."

The debate about targeting will likely rumble on, and Shilo Sander's case is shining the spotlight on the matter due to the massive attention the Colorado Buffaloes garner.
