“His footwork and throwing motion is such a joy to watch. Just textbook mechanics across the board,” one more fan wrote.
“This is really good footwork for a pocket QB,” commented another.
“Kid got his bell rung for 2 years straight. What a trooper!” posted one more.
Sanders’ movement skills will help him sling in rocket passes while creating space for himself when facing tough defenses. He’s not just a pocket passer but a dual-threat QB who can escape sacks and make plays on the move. Boasting over 4,100 passing yards and 40 touchdowns in his final season with the Buffs, Sanders seems primed to write his story in the NFL.
Sanders Garners Mixed Feelings From NFL World
As the 2025 NFL Draft gets closer, Sanders has become a major topic of discussion. The ex-Colorado QB is expected to be a first-round pick, but not everyone agrees. Former New York Jets scout Daniel Kelly criticized Sanders, saying, “The only reason Shedeur Sanders is even in the first-round discussion is because of his last name. There’s nothing on his game film that supports it.”

On the other hand, Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan had a much different view. Speaking at the East-West Shrine Bowl, Callahan praised Sanders for his maturity and leadership, stating, “You can tell he’s been raised right. He’s mature, he has a really poised way about him. You can tell he’s been in the spotlight and knows how to handle it.”

Sanders himself remains confident. In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Coach Prime’s son said, “That’s why the pressure doesn’t faze me. That’s why no situation would ever faze me. That’s why I know I’m the most guaranteed risk you can take.”
