"I've seen Shedeur Sanders take massive hits" - Pat McAfee drops his POV on Coach Prime's son coming to the NFL

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a stellar season leading the Buffaloes to a much-improved 9-4 record and bowl eligibility for the first time in eight years. The quarterback and his Buffs teammate, Heisman Trophy winner, Travis Hunter have boosted their draft stocks with their stellar performances this season.

During Wednesday's segment of the "Pat McAfee" show, McAfee said that while the Buffs quarterback has been projected as the top pick for a while now, NFL evaluators are not sold on him being the No. 1 overall pick (38:00).

"Interesting conversation about Shedeur right now, and Cam Ward and all the quarterbacks coming out right now," McAfee said. "I am not a draft analyst, I do not study the film and project where the people are gonna get drafted. I've seen Shedeur spin it, I've seen Shedeur take massive hits. I know that Shedeur has been around NFL brains his entire life, I saw what they were able to do to Colorado.

"To turn it around from a nothing into a massive something and obviously, there are other stars around him and I just naturally assume that Shedeur is gonna be a guy in the NFL. Then you hear these drafts experts and they're saying that 'The people we're talking to are saying Shedeur ain't the No. 1 overall type of guy. But there's people who aren't as high on Cam and Shedeur as quarterbacks as maybe we all are from outside looking in."

Shedeur Sanders open to any NFL move

For the longest time, Shedeur Sanders has been linked with a move to a specific team in the NFL after his father, Deion Sanders revealed that he would only stomach certain franchises for his son.

During Tuesday's episode of the "2Legendary" podcast, the NFL-bound quarterback revealed that he was open to being picked by any team in the NFL rather than cherry-picking certain franchises as preferences.

“Honestly, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and what’s meant to happen, it’s going to happen," Shedeur Sanders said. "I don’t feel like God will ever put me in a place I’m not supposed to go. [9:00]

"We made it everywhere that we went and been successful, so like that’s the thing, bro. I’m not paying attention to people or what these people saying… I’m happy of the order and whatever happens, because I know at the end of the day, God gonna put me on the right team.”

One of the most anticipated picks in the 2025 NFL Draft will involve Shedeur Sanders due to the hype that has accompanied him throughout his college football career.
