SHEDEUR SANDERS will declare for the 2025 NFL Draft after this college season.
But now all eyes are on the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback’s final destination.
Sanders reaffirmed that he plans on declaring for the 2025 NFL draft
The 22-year-old, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, is expected to be a top-five pick
Shedeur’s stock has been on the rise thanks to his soaring form in the first eight games of the season.
He has 21 passing touchdowns and six interceptions along with three rushing touchdowns.
And now Sanders has his mind firmly made up: he’s off to the NFL after the current college football season.
The 22-year-old announced the news to his teammates during the Buffaloes’ first practice of the week.
A video captured by Sanders’ brother, Deion Sanders Jr., shows the Colorado quarterback laughing off a coach’s reminder about registering for spring semester classes.
Sanders said: “Registration for what?
“Man I’m going to the league. I know after last game, y’all are not going to see me for a good reason.”
Sanders later responded to the clip on X, writing, “I’m graduating early by the way.”
Sanders is the youngest son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders.
He started his collegiate career at Jackson State, where he was named the most outstanding freshman in the division, before transferring to Colorado in 2023.
In two seasons at Colorado, Sanders has thrown for a combined 5,821 yards and 48 passing touchdowns, adding seven rushing touchdowns.
The 6-foot-2 quarterback recently finished 25 of 30 passing for 323 yards and two touchdowns in Colorado’s latest win over Cincinnati.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz’s latest NFL mock draft has Sanders projected to go No. 7 overall to the Carolina Panthers.
Sanders has also been linked to the Las Vegas Raiders.
One fan wrote on X: “Yep. Expected. I think he’ll do great things in the league.”
Another said: “He could be a solid NFL quarterback, one day.”
While one more added: “I’m a big fan and think he’s a generational talent.”
Sanders is trending toward being a top-five pick, and the top quarterback off the board.
