Sheder Sanders will probably be one of the first quarters caught in the draft of the NFL. The only question is when he hears his name called Day 1.
The former star of Colorado Buffaloes was the offensive player of the Big 12 year with 4,134 yards by the pass and 37 passes in the first season of the program in the conference.

Sanders brings a great talent and a big surname in the NFL. He is the son of the renowned temple of professional football Deion Sanders, who was also his coach at Jackson State and Colorado. Although the recognition of the names associated with talents on the ground is one of the main reasons why Sanders could be selected as high as the project n ° 2, an initiate of the NFL suggested that this could also bring a whirlwind of potential problems for a team.
“Now, at the NFL level, he will be without the presence of his father in football for the first time, and he will have to adapt to his new life as some players do when they spend a high school in college,” wrote Adam Schefter of ESPN in a story. “This, in the eyes of some, will be an opportunity for Sanders to grow, to continue to learn and bring your game to an even higher level.
“And then there is this: short of Mike Tomlin de Pittsburgh, any other coach who writes Sanders would better be comfortable with his position within the organization. Because if this fighting team and the base of the fans calls for a change of coach, speculation will start to swirl on the fact that Sanders’ father takes over.”

Schefter has described the acquisition of Sanders to Colorado as is not “too restrictive”. It starts at $ 12 million if he left before the last day of 2025. He would increase to $ 10 million in 2026.
Where Sheder Sanders could land is also a lot in the air. Tennessee titans seem to focus on Cam Ward.
The Giants of Cleveland and New York are behind them and could also use a quarter-back, although the Giants have signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston during the offseason.

Las Vegas raiders at No. 6 and New Orleans saints in No. 9 could also be candidates. Pittsburgh steelers need a quarter-Arrière help, but that would mean Sanders fell to No. 21.
