Heisman winner believes Shedeur Sanders will be QB1
Shedeur Sanders is fast laying a claim to being the first quarterback off the draft board in 2025. His performance has seen a lot of analysts continue to tout him for this. He's continued to impress this season for Colorado despite the offensive line still not in a good position.
Johnny Manziel also believes this will be the case in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Heisman Trophy winner sees Sanders getting picked ahead of every other quarterback in the draft.
"Shedeur is obviously going to be a guy that’s going to be looked at and probably be the top quarterback coming off the board this year,” Manziel said during a recent episode of the "Big Bets on Campus Podcast."
"He’s played well for what he’s around him at times, he had guys out this week, and he still continues to find a way to put up good numbers and play really well.”
Draft expert predicts Shedeur Sanders' landing spot
With many analysts agreeing that Shedeur Sanders will be the first quarterback off the board in the upcoming draft, his landing spot is now a major point of discussion. Ryan Fowler of Draft Network has him at the Carolina Panthers in his latest mock draft.
"As the weeks progress, this continues to look like the path Carolina could entertain less than two years after drafting Bryce Young with the top pick," Fowler wrote on Sunday.
"Sanders is an extremely mature and intelligent processor under center with the zip and touch to threaten all levels of the field. A primary pocket passer, his ability to win from the shoulders up separates him from many of the QBs in the class."
The Panthers might be an unfavorable spot for Shedeur and this could lead to some drama. Deion Sanders noted in 2023 that his sons would go in the way of Eli Manning if they get drafted by some franchises and Carolina could be one of them.
