He wasn’t happy with the decision, but played along. What else could he have done?

Scientists say our brains are wired differently based on our life experiences. If you take one look at Russell Wilson, you’ll see that theory in action. One moment, he’s promoting his wife Ciara’s new album; the next, he’s playing with his children. Then he’s praising his teammates and friends, supporting them in both their professional and personal lives.

“It’s kind of like you just don’t love the game of football,” Rob Gronkowski said about the Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney in December 2023 when he dropped a few balls in crucial moments. The Gronk also praised the receiver for his athletic skills. But the questions about the love for the game always remained. Yet, Patrick Mahomes won 2 Super Bowls with him before trading him to the Browns in 2024. They also released him mid-season. Since then, he has been a free agent.

As we grow up, it gets tough to handle everything at once. Sometimes, additional responsibilities and alternative life choices overwhelm us.

While there is an entire list of college athletes ready for the coming draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Shedeur Sanders is on another level. The Buffaloes’ quarterback played under his father and Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. While their bond was strong, Coach Prime never gave his son special treatment.
