Publicly, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and those close to him are saying they're fine with Sanders being drafted by any team at any time.

The Colorado football program will be well represented during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Colorado’s star players, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, are both expected to be picked in the first round.

However, the bottom line is that Sanders is a fine player that could be successful in the NFL. While his physical traits are average and pocket management is a work in progress, Sanders is poised, tough, and accurate, as evidenced by leading the FBS with a 74% completion rate in 2024.
