“We coming!” The now famous line from Colorado Buffalos HC Deion Sanders has been true at the college level but the question remains whether it will continue in the NFL. The elder Sanders has been talking with the Dallas Cowboys about their head coaching position and was rumored to be interested in the Las Vegas Raiders job as well.
Outside of being a head coach, Deion has another important job: Father of one of the two top quarterback prospects that the Cleveland Browns could have interest in this year’s NFL draft, Shedeur Sanders.
There has been scuttle that Deion could impact where his son is drafted, ala Eli Manning’s father. Whether it is the Tennessee Titans, Browns or another team that either plays in the cold weather or isn’t in a big-name city, organizations will want clarity about what they are dealing with if they draft Sanders.
A good father wants what is best for their kid but Deion has a unique position, and potentially leverage, to actually have some control or influence for Shedeur.
According to Deion’s friend Shannon Sharpe, the elder Sanders is not going to allow Shedeur to come to Cleveland:
Obviously, Sharpe is not speaking from direct knowledge or is not saying it as if he is. He doesn’t “think” Deion will allow it while Chad Ochocinco agrees and references the Manning situation way back in 2004.
First and foremost, the Browns need to evaluate the talent of the draft class before it matters what Deion might want. Then, if Cleveland GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski, who is running the QB search, decide Sanders is the right fit, the Titans have to pass on him. Finally, the Browns would then have to make a decision based on what they have heard, either directly or indirectly from Shedeur’s camp, on whether to select the Colorado QB.
Do you think Deion’s opinion on where Shedeur plays (or Shedeur’s desired location) should influence the Browns (or Titans) decision in the upcoming NFL draft?
The Cleveland Browns are gearing up for the NFL draft and speculation is running rampant about who they will select with their first-round pick. One player who has caught the eye of NFL legend Deion Sanders is Shedeur Sanders, son of the Hall of Famer himself.
In a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe, Deion shared his thoughts on the possibility of Shedeur landing in Cleveland and what he believes the young quarterback could bring to the Browns.
According to Deion, Shedeur has all the tools to succeed in the NFL and he believes that Cleveland would be the perfect landing spot for him. With his strong arm, quick decision-making skills, and natural athleticism, Deion sees Shedeur as a potential franchise quarterback for the Browns.
While nothing is set in stone until draft day, it’s clear that Deion has high hopes for his son’s future in the NFL and believes that Cleveland could be the ideal place for him to start his career.
As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on the Browns and whether or not they will take a chance on Shedeur Sanders. Only time will tell if Deion’s prediction will come true, but one thing is for sure – the NFL draft is always full of surprises. Stay tuned for more updates as the draft draws near.
Plenty of quarterback names are going to be thrown your way in the next three months, Tennessee Titans fans. It’ll almost feel like too many to keep track of.
That’s what this guide is for.
The Titans are in the quarterback market heading into 2025 and have dozens of directions they can turn. Owning the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft makes drafting a rookie to build the franchise around tantalizing. But the possible flood of playoff-ready veterans who will or can hit the free agent market means the Titans can opt for experience if they so choose.
Below is a ranked list of 26 candidates who could be the Titans’ starting quarterback in 2025, divided into value tiers.
Coach Brian Callahan and his staff could very well fall in love with a QB they don’t have to pick No. 1. It’s just hard to imagine the Titans rolling with one of these guys in Week 1 unless something dramatic happens.
Tier 9: Run it back, safe edition
22: Mason Rudolph (Titans)
Rudolph wasn’t particularly great with the Titans this year, and he pretty much is what he is at this point in his career. But familiarity counts.
Tier 8: Bring in the journeymen
21: Desmond Ridder (Raiders)
20: Jacoby Brissett (Patriots)
19: Andy Dalton (Panthers)
18: Carson Wentz (Chiefs)
17: Mac Jones (Jaguars)
16: Drew Lock (Giants)
15: Jimmy Garoppolo (Rams)
14: Jameis Winston (Browns)
This isn’t a list of quarterbacks any Titans fan would be excited about. It’s probably a better list of backup candidates than starters. But if the goal is to break in a younger quarterback, here are the competition candidates.
Tier 7: Run it back, risky edition
He’s still under contract, he’s still young, and he’s got a chance to take a step forward in his second year in Callahan’s system. But he didn’t exactly put good reps on tape in 2024, and this staff knows it.
Tier 6: Maybe I can fix them
12: Trey Lance (Cowboys)
11: Zach Wilson (Broncos)
10: Justin Fields (Steelers)
Three guys all drafted within 10 picks of each other all destined for their third team in five years. No one should doubt any of these guys’ talents, though. Consider these the best and riskiest opportunities to buy low and win big.
Tier 5: Just pick the guy, sheesh!
9: Cam Ward (Miami)
8: Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)
The most surefire way to reset the franchise and the most surefire way to get fans excited about the future. Maybe the Titans land a Jayden Daniels type instant difference maker. Or maybe there’s a steep learning curve this Titans staff doesn’t have time to endure. High risk, high reward.
Tier 4: Low risk, low ceiling
7: Kirk Cousins (Falcons)
6: Derek Carr (Saints)
Cousins and Carr are likely cut candidates. Carr gets the slight edge here because of his familiarity with Callahan, and don’t discount his ability to be a stabilizing presence, if not one who’ll rile up the fanbase.
Tier 3: The Minnesota Vikings
5: Sam Darnold (Vikings)
4: J.J. McCarthy (Vikings)
If Darnold hits the open market, he’ll be the most expensive passer available. The Titans would be buying high on a guy who hasn’t exactly had a consistent NFL career. But he’s still an upgrade over what the Titans have. If the Vikings choose to hold onto Darnold, the Titans could be able to add McCarthy on the cheap compared to what the Vikings invested into.
Tier 2: Well… he does love Nashville…
He’s lost a step. He comes with all sorts of headaches. And he’ll probably ask the Titans to sign three or four of his buddies. But he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history who was essentially a league-average passer last season in his first year back from a massive injury. If he bounces back further, and the Titans can endure the cult of personality he brings, it’s worth a thought.
Tier 1: Are these really possibilities?
2: Dak Prescott (Cowboys)
1: Matthew Stafford (Rams)
As long as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continues his flirtation with Deion Sanders, there’s a chance the Titans could end up with his three-time Pro Bowl QB who was the runner-up for the NFL MVP less than a year ago in a trade to pair Sanders with his son. And there’s an option in Stafford’s contract that could make him a free agent and reunite the former Super Bowl winner with Callahan, his old QB coach. Stafford’s familiarity with Callahan, and the fact that he’s not coming off an injury, give him the slight edge. But either of these passers landing in Tennessee could make the Titans immediate playoff contenders in a weak AFC South.

From Aaron Rodgers to Shedeur Sanders: A Journey Through Generational Talent
In the world of football, there are few names as iconic as Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback has set records, won championships, and solidified his place in the Hall of Fame. But as Rodgers’ storied career begins to wind down, a new generation of talent is rising to take his place.
Enter Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders. Shedeur has been making a name for himself on the high school football scene, dazzling fans and scouts alike with his exceptional skills and football IQ. With a cannon for an arm and a sharp mind for the game, Shedeur is poised to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a star in his own right.
As Rodgers passes the torch to the next generation of quarterbacks, it’s clear that the talent and drive to succeed are alive and well in players like Shedeur Sanders. The football world eagerly awaits to see what the future holds for this young phenom, and if his journey will mirror that of the greats who came before him.
From Aaron Rodgers to Shedeur Sanders, the lineage of talent and excellence in football continues to evolve and inspire. As one chapter closes, another begins, and the legacy of greatness lives on in the hands of those who are ready to seize it.
Shedeur Sanders is tumbling down NFL draft boards — and it’s not even the main story.
In a mock draft from CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, Sanders went No. 8 to the Las Vegas Raiders. Trapasso focused more on helping Caleb Williams by selecting an OL; in this case, Texas OT Kelvin Banks Jr.
Sanders falling out of the top five was at least in the headline. But it wasn’t much of the focus in Trapasso’s write-up on the “Grown QB.”
“One of the better prospect-team pairings in Round 1, Sanders lands as the clear-cut Day 1 starter in Las Vegas,” Trapasso wrote.
Shedeur has shown interest in the Raiders all season, though he most recently registered interest in the New York Giants. Trapasso had Cam Ward dropping too, going to the Giants at No. 4. Both took a narrative hit from bowl season. Ward sat out the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl, while Shedeur played the entire time in the Alamo Bowl but had an uncharacteristic down-game.
Perhaps most surprising is the New York Jets passing on Shedeur with the No. 7 pick. Deion Sanders wouldn’t comment on it, but the Jets would be the exact type of team he’d steer his sons away from.
Rookie QBs proved to be able to ingratiate themselves to the NFL in 2024, but that was an anomaly. Not the standard. Franchises like to skew more experienced at the position these days. That’s how Kirk Cousins got the money he did from the Atlanta Falcons.
Shedeur and Ward may not be hot commodities like they were expected to be, and could fall in the draft.
At least Travis Hunter went No. 1 overall to the New England Patriots.
In a shocking turn of events, Colorado football quarterback Shedeur Sanders has almost fallen out of the top 10 in the latest 2025 NFL mock draft. Sanders, who was once considered a top prospect, has seen his stock plummet in recent weeks due to concerns about his consistency and decision-making on the field.
Many NFL scouts and analysts were surprised to see Sanders drop out of the top 10, as he was once touted as a potential franchise quarterback. However, his recent struggles have raised red flags for teams looking to invest a high draft pick in the young quarterback.
Despite his recent setbacks, Sanders still has time to redeem himself and climb back up the draft boards. With the NFL draft still several months away, he will have the opportunity to showcase his skills and prove to teams that he is worthy of a top selection.
It remains to be seen whether Sanders can bounce back and secure a spot in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL draft, but one thing is for certain – his draft stock has taken a major hit in recent weeks. Stay tuned for more updates on Sanders and his draft status as the NFL draft approaches.

L.J. Martin rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, Jake Retzlaff passed for 151 yards, and BYU beat Colorado 36-14 in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday night.

BYU Defense Shines in Alamo Bowl Win over Colorado, Stymies Top Recruits Sanders and Hunter
The BYU Cougars put on a defensive clinic in their Alamo Bowl victory over the Colorado Buffaloes, shutting down top recruits Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in a dominant performance.
Led by a relentless pass rush and suffocating coverage in the secondary, BYU held Sanders and Hunter in check throughout the game, limiting their impact on the field. Sanders, a highly-touted quarterback prospect, was unable to find his rhythm against the Cougars’ defense, completing just 15 of 30 passes for 180 yards and two interceptions.
Meanwhile, Hunter, one of the top wide receiver recruits in the country, was held to just three receptions for 32 yards, as the BYU secondary blanketed him all game long.
The Cougars’ defensive effort was a key factor in their 31-14 victory over Colorado, as they forced three turnovers and held the Buffaloes to just 287 total yards of offense.
BYU’s performance against two of the top recruits in the country sends a strong message to the college football world that they are a team to be reckoned with, both now and in the future.
But their lasting impact in Boulder — on the field and off — was probably immeasurable.
With two dynamic stars playing their final college game, the 23rd-ranked Buffaloes were blown out 36-14 by No. 17 BYU in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Saturday night.
Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner and two-way sensation, caught four passes for a game-high 106 yards and a touchdown. His 43-yard scoring grab from Sanders cut Colorado’s deficit to 27-7 with 6:14 left in the third quarter. The lockdown cornerback also made four solo tackles.
Sanders was 16-of-23 passing for 208 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Both players are expected to be picked high in the NFL draft next spring.
“It felt great representing Colorado and bringing it back to where it was in the past,” Sanders said. “And obviously, we laid the foundation of the program, so now it’s stable for the other players that are coming in to take off and pick up where we left off at.”
Nothing has been the same at Colorado since the school hired Deion Sanders as coach in December 2022 — and that was the idea.
Along with the hype and hoopla surrounding the arrival of Coach Prime from Jackson State, the former NFL superstar brought a talented group of transfers to the Rocky Mountains — most notably his quarterback son and Hunter. Together, they helped transform the Buffaloes (9-4) from a national afterthought to one of college football’s greatest shows and hottest tickets.
While Hunter and Shedeur Sanders didn’t have the send-off they were hoping for Saturday night, the Buffaloes are still excited about a bright future.
“I don’t look forward to it, but I do because that means they are going to another level, another chapter of life, and they’re going to soar,” Deion Sanders said. “I’m thankful that I feel we’ve equipped them with all the tools necessary to be successful.”
Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be among the first five selections in the 2025 NFL draft. Some are projecting that Colorado’s star duo could join Penn State defensive end Courtney Brown and linebacker LaVar Arrington in 2000 as the only college teammates chosen with the top two picks.
Colorado is 13-12 under Deion Sanders, but the Buffaloes made their first bowl appearance since 2020, and fan interest is the highest it has been in decades.
All home games were sold out the past two seasons, a first in the program’s 134-year history. The team also averaged 4 million viewers on national broadcasts during that stretch.
Colorado games attracted celebrities such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, NBA stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Chauncey Billups and Kyle Lowry, and rappers Offset, Master P and Key Glock.
Coach Prime made the program cool, but the entertaining play of Hunter and Shedeur Sanders provided a reason to watch.
During the 2024 regular season, Hunter had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns, plus a rushing score. On defense, he had four interceptions, made 32 tackles, broke up 11 passes and forced a critical fumble that secured an overtime victory against Baylor.
The Associated Press Player of the Year joined late running back Rashaan Salaam (1994) as the only Heisman Trophy winners in Colorado history and decided to skip his senior season at Colorado to enter the NFL draft.
Shedeur Sanders, a senior, completed 635 of 884 passes (71.8%) for 7,156 yards and 62 touchdowns in two regular seasons with the Buffaloes.
“All the OB’s, original Buffs, how thankful and appreciative they were that they got an opportunity to come participate in a week of bowl festivities,” Deion Sanders said after the game when asked what he has learned during his time with his departing players. “So, patience and forgiveness and just overall love, man.”
The turnaround they spearheaded was exactly what Colorado athletic director Rick George had in mind when he hired Deion Sanders.
“I’m thankful that Rick gave me the opportunity,” Deion Sanders said. “We wouldn’t have had the Heisman Trophy winner, a guy that [could be] the first or second pick of the whole draft. Several other guys are definitely going to get drafted. It wouldn’t have happened if I wouldn’t have accepted that calling. So I’m thankful with the opportunity afforded to me. I’m thankful to be here, period.”
And while Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are moving on, their impact on the program’s future is already evident.
Quarterback prospect Julian “JuJu” Lewis, rated the No. 2 overall recruit by ESPN for the class of 2025, enrolled early at Colorado and worked with Shedeur Sanders and Hunter during practices for the Alamo Bowl. Lewis completed 267 of 353 passes for 3,798 yards and 48 touchdowns in leading Carrollton (Ga.) High School to the state final.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
Despite a disappointing bowl loss, Shedeur and Hunter have officially closed a successful chapter in Colorado.
Shedeur and Hunter, two talented football players, have made a lasting impact on the Colorado football program during their time with the team. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, they have shown resilience and determination on and off the field.
Their leadership, skill, and dedication have inspired their teammates and fans alike. As they move on to new opportunities, they leave behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.
We wish Shedeur and Hunter all the best in their future endeavors and thank them for their contributions to Colorado football. Their time with the team may be over, but their impact will be felt for years to come.

BYU made the final game of Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders’ Colorado careers one to forget.
BYU (11-2) led 20-0 at halftime as many of the flaws that had plagued Colorado through the first two years of Deion Sanders’ tenure reared their ugly heads. The Buffs (9-4) couldn’t get a running game going and the offensive line struggled in pass protection too. After BYU led 10-0 in the first quarter, the Cougars extended their lead when Parker Kingston returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
The blowout happened even as BYU QB Jake Retzlaff threw two interceptions and backup Gerry Bohanon threw one in his only pass attempt.
Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, got his highlight with a 43-yard TD in the third quarter on a nicely-placed pass from Sanders. But that was about all that went right for the Buffaloes.
Both Hunter and Sanders played for Colorado despite likely being early first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Colorado took out insurance policies for Sanders, Hunter and others ahead of the game in the event of an injury.
The game was a matchup between the two Big 12 teams because of the Alamo Bowl’s selection process. The bowl has traditionally pitted teams from the Big 12 and Pac-12 together, but the Pac-12 dissolved before the 2024 season with just Washington State and Oregon State remaining as members of the conference.
Before the season, the Alamo Bowl said that it’d pick a team that was in the Pac-12 in 2023 and a team that was in the Big 12 in 2023. With Arizona State and Oregon in the College Football Playoff and other former Pac-12 teams not having spectacular seasons, the bowl announced before the end of the 2024 season that it’d take either Arizona State and Colorado against either BYU or Iowa State based on the outcome of the Big 12 title game.
Though it was a game between current Big 12 teams, BYU and Colorado didn’t meet in the regular season. The two teams found themselves on the wrong end of a four-way tie for first with ASU and ISU and therefore missed a chance to play for the conference title and a shot at the College Football Playoff.
The win gives BYU 11 wins for the first time since 2020 and the first time in a non-pandemic season since 2009. Colorado, meanwhile, made a five-win leap in 2024 and looks to sustain that success in 2025 despite the losses of Sanders and Hunter. The Buffaloes have gotten a commitment from five-star QB JuJu Lewis and also added former Liberty QB Kaidon Salter in the transfer portal.
The BYU Cougars delivered a dominant performance in the Alamo Bowl, blowing out the Colorado Buffaloes in what turned out to be the final game for star players Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.
BYU, led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, put on a show on both sides of the ball. Sanders threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, while Hunter racked up over 150 yards receiving and two touchdowns of his own.
The Cougars’ defense was equally impressive, holding the Buffaloes to just 10 points and forcing multiple turnovers throughout the game.
For Hunter and Sanders, this game marked the end of their college careers as they prepare to enter the NFL draft. Both players made a huge impact on the BYU program during their time there, and their leadership will be sorely missed.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Cougars celebrated their decisive victory and sent Hunter and Sanders off with a memorable win in their last game in a BYU uniform.
The method is madness. But so is the moment. Deion Sanders was built for this window in college football, where moms want to hear about the degree, kids want to hear about The League, and agents want to hear about the cut.
“The one thing I think Coach Prime has over everybody else is, he always worked with kids, so he understands how they think,” former NFL great and Warner Discovery/TNT analyst Takeo Spikes said recently. “He knows what they want. He understands how to be able to motivate. He knows how to motivate them without tearing the man down and forgetting to build him back up.”
Kids rule. Talent rules. Which means if Sanders isn’t going anywhere, neither are the Buffs.
It means there’s life after the Alamo Bowl. There’s life after the best player (Travis Hunter) in college football and the best quarterback (Shedeur Sanders) in the country ride off into a millionaire’s sunset.
What a lot of us got wrong — what I got wrong — was the old, stodgy way of college football thinking. That some mountains simply couldn’t be moved. That programs make players.
No, sir. It’s the other way around. And it always has been, really. It’s just that, under the NCAA’s old system, schools held the upper hand until a star’s draft eligibility clock started ticking.
The transfer portal has made every college football player a year-to-year commitment — only said commitment is in the hands of the player now instead of the program. The only constant in roster management is change. Adapt or die.
While James Franklin pouts, stomps and shakes his fist at the portal, Sanders just shrugs. You want to go? Cool. That door swings both ways, my friend. Get with the times or get the heck out.
“Now we know how Prime has done at CU, kind of clean house, kind of set the tone his own way,” ex-Broncos great Champ Bailey, Spikes’ TNT teammate, added the other day.
“People criticized him throughout the process. But what they don’t understand is, this dude is the hardest worker in football. So it’s going to work out because his level of confidence is based off the work he’s putting in.”
It’s Prime’s Time.
It’s Prime’s league, too.
The Big 12, as a conference of football middleweights, needs Sanders more than Sanders needs the Big 12. Brett Yormark assembled a circuit of basketball blue bloods — five league men’s hoops programs were ranked among the latest AP Top 25 at the end of last week, three among the top 15 — and football oddballs.
All of which plays perfectly into CU’s hands. Being better than Oklahoma and Texas consistently 15-20 years ago was always a steep hill to climb. With USC, Oregon and Washington in the Pac-12, it was the same story. The same ceiling.
But this Big 12 is an altogether different, weirder and kinder beast. Utah’s Kyle Whittingham and Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy are showing their age, and the Buffs just got done blowing the doors off of both. Tell a recruit the only things standing between them and a College Football Playoff berth are Arizona State and Iowa State, they’ll sign on that dotted line 11 times out of 10.
“What he’s done at CU, of course, is sustainable,” Bailey said of Sanders. “It’s just all about changing the culture and demanding excellence. And who comes after Prime, they’ll be warranted with this job of trying to keep that going. Which I think is doable when you have a region like the Mountain West region, where CU dominates that state, as far as recruits — and they can expand beyond that.”
Kids rule. Talent rules. If I’ve got five NFL wide receivers, I’ll wager you can’t find five cornerbacks to cover them. And the handful of rosters that can are all still kicking about the CFP.
What do the Buffs have now that they didn’t have five years ago? Two top-five draft picks. You won’t beat the Ohio State Buckeyes until you join them.
“What makes Deion, for me, I just think it’s the build-up,” Spikes said. “I think just from what he’s been able to do, and even look at what he did (compared to) two years ago — this CU team only won one game (in 2022), if I’m not mistaken.
“So when you look at the big picture, yes, it’s sustainable, from what he’s been able to do. And a lot of that is due to him understanding the current-day kid.”
It’s Prime’s Time. Once this thing got turned around, that Boulder was only rolling one way. The mountain came to Deion Sanders. And it has a new king.
Deion Sanders, CU Buffs will dominate Big 12 after Travis Hunter, Shedeur leave
With the recent departures of star recruits Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders from the Colorado Buffaloes, many fans may be feeling disheartened. However, head coach Deion Sanders remains confident in his team’s ability to dominate the Big 12 conference.
Despite losing two highly touted prospects, Sanders has a plan in place to ensure that the Buffs continue to excel on the field. With a strong recruiting class and a solid group of returning players, Sanders believes that his team has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
“We may have lost some key players, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still dominate the Big 12,” Sanders said in a recent press conference. “We have a talented group of athletes who are hungry to prove themselves, and I have no doubt that we will come out on top.”
Sanders’ confidence and determination are infectious, and fans are eager to see what the Buffs can accomplish under his leadership. With a renewed sense of purpose and a solid game plan in place, the future looks bright for the Colorado Buffaloes. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting season ahead.

As the college football season unfolded, it became increasingly clear that one quarterback stood above all the rest when it comes to the NFL Draft: Shedeur Sanders.
But another player has been gaining some late steam: Miami‘s Cam Ward, who has led his team to a 10-2 mark and matchup against Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl (Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET). The Canes’ star is second in betting odds to go No. 1 overall, at +170 (bet $10 to win $27 total).
With the race seeming to heat up, we thought it would be fun to have our experts examine these two quarterbacks more closely and chime in on which QB deserves to be drafted first.
Which QB should be the first chosen in the NFL Draft, Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders?
Jason McIntyre: Cam Ward
I had Cam Ward No. 1 in my mock draft, and for most teams that are QB-needy, I’d take Ward. He’s an extremely gifted thrower, moves fluidly in the pocket, and watching him this season lead the Miami Hurricanes back to relevance — he turns 23 in May and maturity won’t be an issue.
The one team that definitely makes sense for Shedeur Sanders is the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders thought they had their “face” of the franchise in Jon Gruden, and that failed miserably. Sanders is a big-time star, but I see a lot of backyard football in him — similar to Caleb Williams.
But Sanders has only played football for his dad dating back to high school, where his dad was the offensive coordinator at Trinity Christian in Texas. Then they both went to Jackson State. Then they both went to Colorado.
If your team drafts Shedeur, just know that the clock instantly begins ticking on Deion Sanders being your next head coach. I’m not sure how many coaches will push back against this ahead of the draft.
What is Cam Ward’s NFL ceiling? | The Herd
Rob Rang: Shedeur Sanders
No quarterback improved his NFL draft stock more in 2024 than Ward, but in the race to be the first signal-caller selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders remains well ahead of him.
Statistics can be bent to prove a lot of things, but in the case of Sanders’ FBS-leading 74.2% completion rate this season, the numbers bear out what’s on film — the simple fact that “Deion’s kid” is the most accurate quarterback in the country.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Sanders does not possess a howitzer for an arm. Frankly, Ward’s is stronger. Further, Sanders has a normal, efficient release, whereas Ward’s is lightning-quick. And don’t be surprised if Ward measures in as bigger and more explosive in whatever workouts the quarterbacks opt to do, as well. Ward’s inspirational journey from Incarnate Wood to Washington State to a Heisman Trophy finalist at Miami is undeniable and a stark contrast to the perceived pampering Sanders has experienced playing the past four years with his father as head coach.
How realistic is a Deion-Shedeur Sanders to Cowboys move?
However, from a pure football perspective, Sanders stands apart from the other quarterbacks in this class, especially in his precision and anticipation. Flat-footed in the pocket or on the move, he fires short and intermediate passes with confidence and lofts the ball downfield with plus-touch and trajectory, often throwing his receivers open. While there are some questionable decisions in his tape — a pick-six early on against Nebraska, for example — he rarely makes the same mistake twice, showing the savvy that comes with a lifetime spent watching and playing the game at a high level.
And while his flashy persona may be viewed by some as a concern, it is precisely his experience and apparent comfort in the spotlight that may, in fact, make Sanders popular with teammates and unusually well-prepared for the media glare that comes with being the face of an NFL franchise.
Bucky Brooks: Shedeur Sanders
The debate between Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward will take center stage during the draft season, but the Colorado standout is the clear choice as QB1 in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is the prototypical franchise quarterback NFL teams have coveted for the last 20 years.
From his classic drop-back playing style, to his unwavering confidence and swagger, to his clutch playmaking ability, Sanders checks off the boxes as an elite quarterback prospect. As the son of a Hall of Fame player with a flamboyant personality, he thrived on the biggest and brightest stage since stepping onto Jackson State’s campus as a four-star recruit with a big-game reputation.
Sanders showcased franchise quarterback skills, leading his JSU to a pair of SWAC championships with a 23-3 overall record, including a perfect mark in conference play. He dazzled with a 68.3% completion rate for 6,983 yards and 70 touchdowns with just 14 interceptions, while adding 157 yards and nine rushing touchdowns. The first-team All-American carved up SWAC defenses with surgical precision, exhibiting exceptional timing and anticipation on quick-rhythm throws.
Moreover, Sanders displayed the poise, pocket awareness, and diagnostic skills to punish opponents for overaggressive coverage and blitzes. Though critics questioned his success due to the level of competition, it is hard to ignore his performance and production as a young player leading his squad to championships.
Shedeur Sanders 2024 full season highlights | Future No. 1 Pick?
After transferring to Colorado, Sanders silenced the naysayers with productive seasons, creating a buzz in the NFL scouting community. He completed 71.8% of his passes for 7,156 yards with 62 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The improved accuracy, efficiency, and production speak to Sanders’ quick acclimation to Pac-12/Big 12 competition. Given his success against better competition, it is easy to envision him flourishing as a pro after a brief adjustment period as a rookie.
Sanders has been too good for too long to fail at the NFL level, particularly after playing in a pro-style offense coordinated by a former NFL head coach/offensive playcaller (Pat Shurmur). He enters the league with experience executing NFL-like concepts, shrinking his learning curve as a rookie. In addition, he is a four-year starter with 50 collegiate starts (including the 2024 Alamo Bowl), which will accelerate his learning curve.
Considering that Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix have crushed it as rookies after logging 50-plus starts as collegians, Sanders has a chance to stand out as a rookie in the right environment.
While Ward’s arm talent and moxie will appeal to some teams looking for a spark, Sanders’ poise, pocket awareness and big-game experience gives him the nod in the QB1 debate.
RJ Young: It depends on what you’re looking for
Yes. The answer is yes, you ridiculous pro football provocateur. Yes, you delinquent draftnik. Yes, you filthy fantasy football fantasist.
This is one of those first world problems the rich and famous complain about.
Would you rather have a playmaker in the pocket (Ward) or a fixer as a field general (Sanders)? Would you rather never pay taxes again?
Yes, you would, you rude and radical gridiron grifter.
Would you like to have the nation’s No. 2 passer in Ward, who threw for 4,123 yards, 36 touchdowns and seven touchdowns, or the nation’s No. 4 passer and the single-season record holder at Colorado with 3,926 yards, 35 passing touchdowns and eight interceptions?
Yes, you would, you keyboard-clacking rabble-rouser.
Would you rather have the QB who threw passes to the Heisman Winner (Sanders) or the one throwing passes to the most prolific receiver in Miami Hurricanes history (Ward)?
Should Cowboys move on from Dak Prescott and draft Shedeur Sanders?
Yes, you would, John Mara.
Would you rather have the quarterback forged in the crucible of Texas high school football, who made his name at an FCS school, transferred to a Power 4 program, and then led that program to a top 25 ranking and just short of playing for a conference title this season? That’s Sanders and Ward again.
Yes, you would Jerry Jones.
Would you rather have the quarterback who started more than 40 college football games in his career?
Yes, you would Mark Davis.
Would you rather have the quarterback who went into the Swamp, dropped 41 points and 385 passing yards on the Gators and then turned around and told UF fans they’re not enough? Then that’s Ward.
Would you rather have the QB who has been coached by one of the greatest football players to ever live and one of the greatest athletes the universe has ever seen? The one who doesn’t know what it’s like not to be famous. The one who knows who to handle it. The one that has been called “grown” by his father since he was a teenager. Then draft Sanders.
Would you like the opportunity to enjoy the kind of success and popularity the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders enjoy? Then stop arguing about which one to get and just make sure you’re in a position to draft one. Then it’s up to you. Then it’s up to your front office to surround him with every available tool to promote development, to sell out in pursuit of where their individual talent can lead you.
Do you want the best chance to turn your franchise into a Super Bowl champion with a single solitary selection?
Then the answer is yes.
Now here’s the hard part: Don’t mess this up.

Shedeur Sanders vs. Cam Ward: Which QB should go first in 2025 NFL Draft?
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the debate over which quarterback should be selected first is heating up. Shedeur Sanders, the highly touted son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, and Cam Ward, the standout signal-caller from a small school, are both generating buzz as potential top picks.
Sanders, who played college football at a major program and has the pedigree of a Hall of Fame father, is seen as a dynamic playmaker with all the physical tools to succeed at the next level. Ward, on the other hand, may not have the same name recognition, but his impressive stats and intangibles have some scouts believing he could be a franchise quarterback.
So, who should go first in the 2025 NFL Draft? It’s a tough call, as both Sanders and Ward have their own strengths and weaknesses. Sanders may have the higher ceiling, but Ward’s consistency and leadership qualities cannot be overlooked.
Ultimately, it will come down to the individual team’s needs and preferences. Some may lean towards Sanders for his upside and star power, while others may prefer Ward for his reliability and steady demeanor.
Regardless of who goes first, both Sanders and Ward have the potential to make a big impact in the NFL. It will be fascinating to see how their careers unfold and which quarterback ultimately proves to be the better pick in the long run.
Shedeur Sanders may be expecting a call from the New York Giants when the 2025 NFL Draft takes place this spring.
Sanders revealed custom Giants cleats on Saturday night ahead of his final game with Colorado during the Alamo Bowl against BYU.

Detailed look at Shedeur Sanders’ custom New York Giants Nike cleats Should the Giants draft him? <br><br>: nomad_customs <a href=”https://t.co/92Pk7CKW43″>https://t.co/92Pk7CKW43</a> <a href=”https://t.co/iU1IjlQpy4″>pic.twitter.com/iU1IjlQpy4</a>
Sanders mentioned the significance of his cleats earlier this week in a conversation with his brother, Shilo Sanders.
“We know where we’re going, baby…We know where we’re going, baby,” Shedeur Sanders said at about the 6:20 mark of the video below. “You’ll see them in the cleats later on this week.”
When Shilo Sanders answered that he couldn’t know where he was going because “the team might trade up,” Shedeur Sanders answered, “You can’t get higher than one.”
The Giants currently have the best shot at the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft.
The franchise will enter this offseason in need of a new quarterback after waiving Daniel Jones in the second season of his four-year, $160 million contract.
After getting burned on the Jones deal, adding a new signal caller on a rookie contract could be a more attractive proposition than a trade or free agent signing.
Sanders appeared to reference potentially being drafted by the Giants in a November episode of his podcast. His father, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, recently expressed confidence that the Giants will keep the No. 1 pick and use the selection to draft Sanders.
But Miami quarterback Cam Ward could also look to be the first signal caller taken off the board in April after finishing his final college season as a Heisman Trophy finalist.
NFL scouts will get one last look at both Sanders and Ward in NCAA action as their college careers wrap up on Saturday. Ward and the Hurricanes played Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl prior to Colorado’s night game.
The quarterback prospects will meanwhile watch the final two weeks of the NFL season to see how the final draft order shakes out.
The Giants have two games remaining against the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles. A victory in either contest could give a three-win team like the Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Titans or Patriots a potential shot at the first pick.
Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is making a statement with his custom Giants cleats for Colorado’s upcoming bowl game against BYU.
The talented quarterback took to social media to share a photo of his flashy cleats, which feature the iconic Giants logo and colors. Shedeur’s bold choice in footwear is sure to turn heads on the field and show off his unique sense of style.
Fans are eager to see how Shedeur performs in the big game with his eye-catching cleats, and it’s clear that he’s ready to make a statement. Stay tuned for more updates on Colorado’s bowl game and Shedeur Sanders’ performance.
We’re one week closer to the end of the regular season. Week 16 of the NFL season saw a big shakeup at the top of the 2025 NFL draft order and it likely won’t be the last.
The Las Vegas Raiders‘ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars dropped them from the No. 1 spot to outside of the top five. The Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans in Week 17 and that could change the top five in the draft order once again.
This draft is marked by one of the best running back classes in recent years as well as lots of depth at offensive line, defensive line, and cornerback. It’s not very top heavy but there are some big names who should go early.
Here are our latest predictions for the first round of the 2025 NFL draft:
If you’re going to bet big with a quarterback at No. 1, go with the one with a higher ceiling. Ward needs to improve on his post-snap recognition and reducing mistakes but his traits are too good to bet against.
This one is easy. New England needs talent everywhere and Hunter’s the best prospect in the class. He can start out on defense and work his way in as a package player on offense, where the Patriots will enjoy his skills on the outside.
Jacksonville’s pass defense is by far the worst in the league by a long shot in most advanced metrics. They’re also dead last in pass rush win rate (PRWR) at just 27% after Week 15. For comparison, the league-leading Houston Texans are at 49%. Carter is the top athlete at the position in the class and could be a long-term answer at the position. The Jaguars could’ve gone cornerback here as well but Carter’s impact could be bigger.
Sorry Deion, Shedeur goes later than No. 1. Sanders has a very high floor in the class as a quarterback who thrives on timing, accuracy, and release. He can pick defenses apart. Titans coach Brian Callahan spent years with Joe Burrow, a quarterback who doesn’t have a rocket arm and thrives with timing, accuracy, and poise in the pocket. Sanders will be a welcome change at the position. The Titans use their second-round pick to upgrade the weapons on offense in this scenario.
This may be a reach, but it’s far too early for a quarterback. Cleveland’s had bad injury luck at tackle this year and Jedrick Wills isn’t a long-term answer. The Browns opt for one of the top tackle prospects in the class. Banks Jr. is a good pass protector already but needs to improve with longer-developing plays in the run game.
The top two quarterbacks are off the board here. Without a good option to start as a rookie, the Raiders opt for one of the top weapons on the outside in the class. McMillan’s combination of size, fluid athleticism, and route-running prowess at this point of his development is impressive. Whoever starts at quarterback next season for Las Vegas will enjoy a McMillan-Brock Bowers combination in the passing game.
With Carter off the board, the Panthers could go for the next-best pass rusher but instead opt for a safer pick in one of the best players available. Johnson has the makings of a top-tier outside cornerback at 6-foot-2 and 200 lbs. with the commitment to hold up against the run. He doesn’t have many blemishes in coverage and should help the Panthers in coverage opposite Jaycee Horn.
The Jets have plenty of questions for the offseason, including who could play quarterback. Whoever it is could use another weapon in the passing game. Burden III is a slot-fade merchant with impressive burst and run-after-the-catch ability. Given how strong the offensive line class is (especially on the interior) compared to the wide receiver class, the Jets make the better value pick.
Some of the Bears’ offensive line issues may be overblown as they’re a top-15 team in both pass block win rate (PBWR) and run block win rate (RBWR). Starting left guard Teven Jenkins is a free agent, as is starting center Coleman Shelton. Campbell is arguably the best offensive lineman in the draft, and it’s a worthwhile investment in front of their franchise quarterback.
New Orleans needs plenty of help on the defensive line, and Williams is one of the best edge prospects in the class. His stats are a bit lower than his peers in this class due to the rotation at edge in Athens but his impressive mix of athleticism, power, and size give him the tools to become a Pro Bowl-caliber rusher sooner than later.
The 49ers have needs on both sides of the ball but go for one of the best value picks in Pearce Jr. The Volunteers edge rusher has the length San Francisco looks for at the position but will need to bulk up long-term. He does have the frame at 6-foot-5 to do so and, like Williams, the tools to become a top edge rusher. In this scenario, he’ll be under the tutelage of one of the best defensive line coaches in the league in Kris Kocurek.
Miami lost Christian Wilkins last offseason in free agency and pick the best player available to replace him. Graham is one of the five best prospects in this class but happens to play a position that is undervalued. The defensive line needs to continue getting younger and Graham could work well in tandem with 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson.
The Colts continue to build around Anthony Richardson with the top tight end prospect in the class. Loveland brings a better skill set to the position than any of the tight ends on the Colts’ roster and will likely put up good enough athleticism scores to satisfy Colts GM Chris Ballard.
The Bengals defense has taken a big step back this season. They’re still in the playoff hunt thanks to their offense but that can’t go on into next season. There’s been a hole in the secondary at safety since Jessie Bates III left for Atlanta. Cincinnati gets a long-term replacement in Starks, one of the best players in the class. The Bengals can address other holes on defense in later rounds.
The Cowboys have plenty of needs but it’s just too easy to see them opting for the Heisman runner-up. Dallas has drafted plenty of Boise State players over the years, including Leighton Vander Esch, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and DeMarcus Lawrence. Jeanty is the top prospect in a loaded running back class and an upgrade over any back currently on the Cowboys roster.
Arizona’s defense is improved this season but still remains one of the worst by PRWR at 32% entering Week 16. Scourton has the size and power to help against the run but the athleticism to affect the pass rush as well. He’s a similar body type to Arizona’s top pick last year, Darius Robinson.
Seattle’s defense has steadily improved over the course of the season but could use more reinforcements. Walker is a flexible piece that Mike Macdonald can use as both an edge rusher or off-ball linebacker. He’s too good of a prospect to pass up and with a good interior offensive line class, Seattle can address those needs more later.
The Buccaneers may be losing offensive coordinator Liam Coen and wide receiver Chris Godwin is a free agent. Egbuka is not a one-for-one Godwin replacement but is another top slot receiver prospect out of Ohio State. With Jalen McMillan improving at one of the outside receiver spots, Egbuka can be part of the next crop of pass-catchers in Tampa Bay from the slot.
The Falcons pass rush is one of the longest-running problems for any team in the NFL. They need help getting after the quarterback and getting the other top edge from Texas A&M in Stewart. He’s slightly bigger than Scourton but more raw at this point of their development. He does have inside-out potential on the line and could be a player for Raheem Morris to develop over time.
Los Angeles is outperforming expectations this season, but that’s happening without many good weapons for quarterback Justin Herbert in the passing game. They lose out on Loveland but get the other top tight end in Warren, a big, powerful, athletic weapon in the passing game who can line up anywhere on offense. His blocking abilities are good enough to be an asset in the run game, likely another selling point for Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman.
Houston’s offensive line has been one of the worst in the league this season. Entering Week 16, the team ranked 26th in pass block win rate (PBWR) and 30th in run block win rate (RBWR). Savaiinaea has the size to hold up at either tackle or guard and experience at both positions for Arizona. He can slot into multiple spots on the line and be an instant upgrade in front of franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud.
In this scenario, Denver loses out on the top tight ends and wide receivers and opts to bolster one of the top defenses in the league. Revel Jr. missed most of this season due to injury but would likely be a top-12 pick if healthy. The Broncos’ defense has struggled with starting cornerback Riley Moss out and Revel Jr. can build out the depth in a division featuring quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.
The Rams went defense-heavy in the 2024 draft with good early returns on the defensive line. This time, they opt for offensive line. Simmons looked like the OT1 in this class before an injury against Oregon ended his season. Los Angeles needs to plan ahead for its offensive line with both Joe Noteboom and Alaric Jackson hitting free agency.
Washington’s outplayed expectations this season but could still use reinforcements on offense around quarterback Jayden Daniels. Harris is a big-bodied outside receiver in the mold of a Michael Thomas-like receiver. He’s not a burner but is a very good (albeit limited) route runner who can make tacklers miss with his play strength after the catch.
Pittsburgh could go many directions with this pick but the quarterback class isn’t strong and running back is so deep they can address it later. They also rarely take a receiver early. So cornerback it is with Morrison, another top prospect whose season was derailed by injury. The Notre Dame product has a mix of size, athleticism, and scheme versatility to fit in most anywhere. Pittsburgh needs another corner opposite Joey Porter Jr. and Morrison can grow into a long-term solution.
Ronnie Stanley and Patrick Mekari are both free agents this coming offseason. Williams is raw at this point but has rare physical traits that warrant a first-round selection. His ceiling is one of the highest of the tackles in the class and would hopefully be a long-term Stanley replacement for Lamar Jackson’s blind side.
Green Bay gets one of the next cornerbacks on the board in the versatile Barron. The Longhorns used him in many different ways this season and he’s held up, posting a 30.8 passer rating when targeted this season per Pro Football Focus (PFF). At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, Barron has the size to hold up outside and the physicality to be an asset against the run in a division featuring the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
Philadelphia prioritizes edge rushers, offensive linemen, defensive backs, and wide receivers in the first round. After a great draft for defensive backs last season, the Eagles bolster the defensive line. Kennard is a natural pass rusher with impressive athleticism packed in a 6-foot-5, 254-lb. frame. He needs to bulk up a bit to hold against the run but the same was said for Eagles 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith.
29. Buffalo Bills: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
This is one of the more popular fits on the draft board. Emmanwori is exactly what you want in a modern safety with rare athleticism in a 6-foot-3 and 227-lb. frame. He can be a hybrid safety-linebacker thanks to his traits but will need to improve his coverage skills. Buffalo’s felt the loss of Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde on the back end this year. Emmanwori’s a long-term answer to that.
Minnesota gets a great value pick here with Harmon. The Oregon defensive tackle is a plus-run defender already with a strong frame at 6-foot-5 and 310 lbs. He’s improving as a pass rusher but the Vikings won’t necessarily need him to be that right away. Minnesota’s been one of the best defenses in the league this year with Harrison Phillips and Jerry Tillery on the inside. Cornerback or running back could be choices here but Harmon’s too good to let slide.
Detroit has been hit hard by injuries all over the defense this season but especially along the defensive line. Edge rushers John Cominsky and Marcus Davenport are free agents after the season and the Lions could use more depth. Jackson is not an outstanding athlete but has the size at 6-foot-7 and 280 lbs. that the Lions like at the position. His ceiling isn’t as high as some other edges in the class but his strength and size gives him a high floor as a prospect.
Chris Jones will be 31 by the start of next season and the Chiefs would be well-served looking for a long-term replacement. Nolen has the tools to be a Pro Bowl interior player on his rookie contract but needs to develop into a consistent, every-down player. Kansas City’s infrastructure can get the best out of the impressive interior athlete and bolster one of the top defenses in the league.
In a surprising turn of events, both the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans have secured new quarterbacks, leaving top prospect Shedeur Sanders without a landing spot.
The Giants announced the signing of veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, while the Titans made a blockbuster trade for Deshaun Watson. Both moves have solidified their quarterback positions and left Sanders, the highly touted prospect and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, without a team.
Sanders had been heavily pursued by multiple teams, but ultimately was unable to secure a deal before the Giants and Titans made their moves. It remains to be seen where Sanders will end up, but for now, the quarterback carousel continues to spin in the NFL.
