2025 NFL draft: Where did each former player from Coach Prime's team get drafted

Hunter was the first former Colorado player taken in the 2025 NFL draft, with the second pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday.

The wide receiver/cornerback finished his senior year with 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns. On defense, Hunter had 35 total tackles (24 solo), four interceptions and one forced fumble. His performances last year earned him the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

Shedeur was the next player to be taken in the draft. The Cleveland Browns used their 144th pick in the fifth round to acquire him. He was sixth in the 2024 college football season in passing yards, completing 353 passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns.

The next former Colorado star to get drafted was Wester in the sixth round. The Baltimore Ravens used their 206th pick to add the wide receiver to their roster. Last year, Wester had 74 receptions for 931 yards and ten touchdowns.

The last player from Deion Sanders' team to get drafted was Horn, by the Carolina Panthers with the 208th pick. He caught 37 passes for 441 yards and one touchdown.

Coach Prime also had Shilo Sanders, Will Sheppard and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig join the NFL as undrafted free agents. He will hope to create more stars in Colorado who could be NFL draft prospects in the future.
