With Deion Sanders in charge, the Colorado Buffaloes are high on the team’s expectations going into their second season. Additionally, they will be joining the Big 12 Conference, making their schedule even more challenging.
One of college football’s most prolific quarterbacks, Shedeur Sanders is a frequent pick in the first round of 2025 mock drafts heading into the season. NFL insider Daniel Jeremiah looked at Shedeur’s abilities and contributions. He provided an intriguing analogy between the Buffs signal-caller and Geno Smith when pressed to do so:
“He reminds me of: Geno Smith coming out of West Virginia. Like Smith during his time with the Mountaineers, Sanders plays in a wide-open college offense that showcases his polish as a passer. Both Smith and Sanders have beautiful throwing motions and deliver a firm, catchable ball,” Jeremiah said. “While each is capable of taking the free yards presented in the run game, neither is dynamic as a ball-carrier. Following a long, rocky start to this NFL career, Smith blossomed into a Pro Bowl quarterback. I see similar upside in Sanders.”
Shedeur Sanders threw for 3,230 yards with 27 touchdowns and three interceptions in his first year in Boulder after transferring from Jackson State.
He was also the most-sacked quarterback in college football last year, so that didn’t help his case.
