Shedeur Sanders is the main story of the 2025 NFL Draft because of the potential the former Colorado Buffaloes standout has.
Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders‘ youngest son could become not only the face of the franchise that picks him next spring, but also the face of the league for years to come.
He’s one of the highest ranked quarterbacks in the Draft – along Miami Hurricanes superstar Cam Ward – and he has shown throughout his young football career that he’s not afraid of the spotlight, taking his team to new heights during the 2024 regular season.
Shedeur’s comments may cause concern with teams
Even though Shedeur did not participate in the NFL Combine this past weekend – he will throw and work out for scouts at Colorado’s pro day, a date for which has not yet been set – he did went to Lucas Oil Stadium to talk to the media and representatives of some of the franchises in the league.
He talked with the NFL about his top 5 legendary moments, and some of his answers could raise concerns among some teams. Running out the tunnel with legendary rapper Lil Wayne before a home game against Colorado State on September 16, 2023, ranked at No. 2.
A come back Hail Mary against the Baylor Bears on September 21, 2024, was ranked No. 4. The play happened at the end of regulation and, along with a game-winning stop from superstar Travis Hunter, fueled Colorado’s 38-31 overtime win over the Texas team.
His top legendary moment
Shedeur Sanders ranked his watch celebration as the number one legendary moment of his career. He raises his arm to show off his expensive watch after making a big play with the Colorado Buffaloes. While some consider that a sign of self-confidence that’s much neeede from a future NFL quarterback, others could see that as a statement of who the young player is.
After all, the youngest son of Hall of Famer Deion “Prime Time” Sanders has inherited his father’s innate confidence — which some believe borders on hubris, if not arrogance — and his decision not to throw at the Combine was well-thought out; Sanders did put more than 900 passing attempts on tape over the past two seasons in the NCAA.
“Sanders possesses a baseline of poise, savvy and accuracy, traits that are integral in becoming an NFL starter. He’s slow-twitch with standard arm talent and a longer release, but he worked around those limitations with anticipation and accuracy. He plays with decent command from the pocket and finds his rhythm when working on-time and on-platform; that said, he will pass on profits and look for the big play too often.” states his NFL scouting report.
