Shedeur Sanders sacked again as history repeats itself

There's been much talk about Shedeur Sanders potentially being a top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, there's a number in Shedeur's record that might raise some alarms in the heads of GMs in the NFL. That would be the number of sacks Shedeur had in 2023.

Last season the Colorado Buffaloes signal-caller was sacked 52 times, the most of any quarterback in the nation.

It is not a single-season problem either, at Jackson State Shedeur Sanders was also sacked plenty of times. In 2021 he was sacked 35 times and 23 times in 2022.
