Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders has a busy offseason ahead of him as he prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft. However, it is not the first time that he has kept busy in the offseason.
Last year, he made a big move, signing a partnership with JD Sports, a premium footwear and accessories business selling items from high-end brands like Nike, Converse, and Vans. He still has the partnership and recently his brother, Deion Sanders Jr. celebrated it.

On Friday, a fan was walking down the street in New York City and came across a large sign advertising JD Sports. On the sign was a large picture of Shedeur Sanders as the face of the brand. Deion Sanders Jr. saw the post and reacted with one word that encapsulates his feelings about his brother.
“Legendary.”

Shedeur Sanders is likely to continue to get endorsement deals like this one. He is slated to enter the 2025 NFL Draft as one of its top prospects. Once he is the face of a young NFL team, more endorsement deals will come. That would be true even if he was not a member of one of the most famous families in football.
Where Will Shedeur Sanders Go in the 2025 NFL Draft?
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, fans and media members have started to speculate even more about which players are expected to go at the top of the draft. Shedeur Sanders has been in the mix for several months. He is viewed by most scouts as one of the two best quarterbacks in his class, alongside Miami’s Cam Ward.
In Pro Football Network’s most recent 7-round NFL Mock Draft, Sanders went first overall to the Titans.
“The days of statuesque passers are a thing of the past. Shedeur Sanders is the evolution of the pocket passer. He’s athletic enough to get on the hoof and pick up first downs with his legs, but many might be surprised to hear he’s not close to the athlete his father was. Instead, he fits into the Geno Smith or C.J. Stroud-like mold.
Sanders’ almost instantaneous release makes up for what is only a slightly above-average arm. It lets him consistently test tight windows, and his class-best accuracy helps his projection as a long-time NFL starter.
Sanders’ pressure-to-sack rate and willingness to hold onto the ball could, and should, cause some concern. However, the context to that is he’s also operated on an NFL timeline for the past two seasons behind arguably one of the worst offensive lines in the country.”
