The Super Bowl has yet to happen, so the world may not fully understand what lies ahead of us once #DraftSZN begins and the discussion surrounding Shedeur Sanders -- a controversial prospect with a controversial father -- starts to really get underway.

Sanders is widely expected to be one of the first two quarterbacks off the board, and conditions are ripe for a leverage play: demand at the position is sky-high, while supply is exceedingly low after last year's haul of six quarterbacks in the first round.

Deion Sanders was an all-time great athlete. His son Shedeur is a talented quarterback and first-round prospect for the 2025 NFL draft, but not the same kind of athlete his father was. And Deion says that's OK.

Shedeur Sanders sat out just one college game, the final game of the season, at the request of his head coach and father, Deion. Otherwise, his college stats speak for themselves. Sanders is currently the No. 2 ranked quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, per ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid. Miami’s Cam Ward is ranked first.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is one of the top prospects heading into the 2025 NFL Draft. He's arguably the top quarterback available in the draft and is expected to be drafted in the top five of the first round.
