Shedeur Sanders, the highly-touted quarterback, is set to make his mark in the 2025 NFL Draft, anticipated to be one of the top picks following a stellar college career at Colorado. Recognized for his impressive passing stats and athletic lineage—being the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders—his potential to become a franchise cornerstone is a focal point for teams looking to revitalize their rosters.

After a standout performance at Jackson State, where he made history as the first HBCU player to win the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman, Sanders continued to excel at Colorado, leading the Big 12 in multiple passing categories. With comparisons to elite quarterbacks and a family legacy in football, the pressure is mounting for Sanders to deliver from day one.
