Shedeur Sanders has had a great year at Colorado and has put himself in a position to be the first quarterback to get drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. His name has often been linked with the Las Vegas Raiders, who will likely have a high draft pick next year.
Moreover, Sanders posts the message “Thank you God” every time the Raiders lose, which has further fueled speculation that he will be drafted by the AFC West franchise.
The Colorado quarterback posted the same message after the Raiders lost 34-19 to the Dolphins. It confirmed the fans’ belief that he wants to play for Las Vegas.

With the loss to the Dolphins, the Raiders are now 2-8 on the season. They have lost their last six games and could even finish with the worst record in the league. It’s no secret that Las Vegas needs a new quarterback, and Sanders could be the guy they have their eyes set on.
In 10 games for Colorado this year, the 22-year-old quarterback has thrown for 3,222 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, completing 72.9% of his throws. There is still a lot of time left for him to improve his draft stock further, but many already believe he is the best quarterback in next year’s draft class.
Tom Brady’s Presence Will Play a Role in Sanders’ Links With Raiders
Tom Brady is officially a minority owner of the Raiders, and he will have a lot of input on the decisions the franchise makes in the coming years. This includes who the team will draft next year and even the next head coach the Raiders hire if they part ways with Antonio Pierce.
Deion Sanders has also hinted that he will play a role in deciding which team will get to draft his son. It would likely cost multiple franchises, which do not have a great culture, a chance to draft the Colorado quarterback.
The Sanders family has a great relationship with Brady, and if the seven-time Super Bowl champion wants the Raiders to draft Shedeur, the team will get him. NBA superstar Kevin Durant also believes that Brady will play a significant role in the Raiders’ potentially drafting Sanders.
We have often seen young quarterbacks getting put into the wrong situations at the start of their careers, spoiling their development. This is one of the big reasons the Colorado head coach has been vocal about deciding where his son will get drafted. Hopefully, Raiders and Brady will take care of Sanders and help him become a top quarterback in the league.
