Shedeur Sanders' NFL Draft Stock Divides Experts and Teams

The Colorado quarterback is a projected first-round pick, but evaluations range from top overall selection to doubts about his readiness.

Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, had a standout college career at Jackson State and Colorado, earning accolades like Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2024.
Despite impressive statistics, including 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdowns in his senior season, some NFL scouts question his pocket management and consistency.
Sanders is competing with other top quarterback prospects, such as Miami's Cam Ward and Alabama's Jalen Milroe, for early selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Critics point to Sanders' performance in Colorado's Alamo Bowl loss to BYU, where he struggled with two interceptions and a season-low 208 passing yards, as a potential red flag.
Teams like the Titans, Jets, Raiders, and Giants, all with top-10 picks, may still consider Sanders due to their urgent need for a franchise quarterback.
