Overview

• Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback, went undrafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft despite being projected as a top-five pick.
• Sanders addressed his draft slide, calling it unexpected and stating, 'we all know this shouldn’t have happened,' while expressing determination to succeed.
• Scouts raised concerns about his slight 6’1", 198-pound frame, decision-making under pressure, and high sack totals, despite his elite college production.
• He compiled 7,364 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and a 71.8% completion rate over two seasons, leading FBS in 2024 with a 74% completion percentage.
• Mock drafts widely project Sanders to be selected early in Round 2 by quarterback-needy teams such as the Steelers, Saints, Raiders, or Jets.
