Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is eligible to be part of the 2025 NFL draft and there is a chance that he could forego his senior season and begin his professional career in the NFL.
There have been rumors circulating about the Las Vegas Raiders being interested in Sanders as they are dealing with quarterback issues. However, it appears that the quarterback's camp is more focused on him potentially landing with the Miami Dolphins.
Last week, on the "NightCap" podcast with Shannon Sharpe and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, coach Deion Sanders explained that there is a chance this could happen:
"If [Tua Tagovailoa] warrants another concussion, that's got to be all she wrote, we're praying that don't happen... What do you do business-wse if you're the Dolphins? Do you go into the draft and take a QB?" Sanders said.
This makes sense for both parties as the Dolphins have a lot of key offensive skill position players, such as wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Having an offensive-minded coach in Mike McDaniel should also help Shedeur Sanders' career get off on the right foot.
What round could Shedeur Sanders be selected in 2025 NFL draft?
While the 2025 NFL draft is not expected to be a massive quarterback draft like the 2024 edition was, there are still some significant quarterbacks that could be joining the National Football League. Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck, Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart are all on the board as some of the high-profile eligible quarterbacks in the upcoming draft.
With the premium spot that quarterbacks play, there is a potential that five or six quarterbacks could get drafted. However, it depends on what these team's needs are and some franchises are going to be in the quarterback market.
Sheduer Sanders has played well so far this season as he is 138-of-197 (70.1%) for 1,630 yards with 14 passing touchdowns to three interceptions. With the success that the Buffaloes have this season, Sanders' stock is going to continue to rise. He has great accuracy and can throw the ball deep.
Do not be surprised to see Shedeur Sanders get drafted within the top 15 picks in the 2025 NFL draft.
