Sanders and Hunter 2025 NFL Draft Projection
Both players have enjoyed remarkable seasons with the Buffaloes and have been a big reason for the team’s success on the gridiron. Colorado finished the regular season fourth in the Big 12 conference with a 9-3 record and will play in the Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars on Dec. 28.
In the process, both individuals have boosted their draft stocks for the 2025 NFL Draft.
In Pro Football Network’s recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Jacob Infante had Sanders being taken No. 1 overall by the Las Vegas Raiders and Hunter being selected No. 3 overall by the New England Patriots.
According to Infante, regarding Sanders, “The Raiders find themselves in desperate need of a long-term answer at the quarterback position. Luckily for them, they’re on track to have their pick of the litter, as they’re currently on pace to hold the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
“Shedeur Sanders made the smart choice to go back to school for another year, and it could pay off with him being the top player selected in this year’s class. He has a nice arm, throws with very good anticipation and touch, and he has the mental and physical toughness to make the jump to the NFL and be a solid starter at the next level.”
Regarding Hunter, “Drake Maye looks the part early in his NFL career, but the Patriots are lacking at several positions on both sides of the ball. If the 2025 NFL Draft ends up ordered like this, they could have the chance at arguably the top player in the class.
“As a wide receiver, Travis Hunter has the athleticism, route-running savvy, and ball skills needed to get open and make big plays. I project him even better as a cornerback, where his route-recognition skills are strong, and his ball skills would immediately put him in the NFL’s elite in that category. Pairing him and Christian Gonzalez in the secondary would give New England something truly special for its defense.”
While it remains to be seen where Sanders and Hunter are selected in next year’s draft, both individuals clearly have the ability to succeed at the professional level.
