Shedeur Sanders will be one of the first quarterbacks taken in the 2025 NFL draft. The Tennessee Titans have the first pick in the upcoming draft, and they'll most likely use that pick on a new franchise QB.

Hence, it surely raised some eyebrows when Titans head coach Brian Callahan compared Sanders to Cincinnati Bengals superstar Joe Burrow.

"People had questions about Burrow’s arm strength in general coming out," Callahan told ESPN's Turron Davenport. "One of the things that makes Joe so unique, and I think you can probably put Shedeur in the same conversation."

Here's what the college world had to say.

What is Shedeur Sanders' player comp entering the NFL?

Shedeur Sanders has a versatile skill set, and it's hard to compare him to just one professional football player. However, his time with the Jackson State Tigers and Colorado Buffaloes points to some apparent similarities with past and present NFL stars.

Pro Football Network sees a lot of Joe Burrow in Sanders. The report states that both quarterbacks are primarily pocket passers but are competent enough on the ground to extend plays with their feet.

Other comparisons for the 2024 Unitas Golden Arm winner are Dak Prescott, Bryce Young and a young Deshaun Watson.
