NFL insiders are talking big — Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders might just pull off something we haven’t seen in 25 years. Oh, you bet — these two rising stars are about to shake up NFL history, and the football world can’t handle it.
This dynamic duo, with their jaw-dropping skills, has everyone glued to the action.
Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders: A Dynamic Duo Eyeing NFL Draft History
Hunter and Sanders are pulling a prime-time move straight out of a football fairy tale. NFL insider Jordan Schultz’s tweet just threw some serious heat: multiple NFL teams were in Boulder for Colorado’s home finale, and one executive dropped the bombshell prediction: “Not only are they both going top five in the draft, but I believe they’re going 1-2, back-to-back.” Now that’s a mic-drop moment!
If it happens, it’ll be the first time since 2000 (shoutout to Penn State’s Courtney Brown and LaVar Arrington) that two college teammates claim the top two picks.
Several NFL teams in attendance today to see Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter’s final home game at Colorado. Says one NFL executive: “Not only are they both going top five in the draft, but I believe they’re going 1-2, back-to-back.”

Sanders, the quarterback with pinpoint accuracy, has been slicing defenses for 3,488 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions this season. Not bad for someone who’s crafting his own legacy while keeping up with comparisons to top-tier QBs like Caleb Williams.
Then there’s Hunter — a true football Swiss Army knife. On offense, he’s racked up 1,036 receiving yards and 11 TDs. On defense? Three interceptions and 30 tackles, proving he’s a human highlight reel. Together, this duo has carried Colorado to a 9-3 record and clinched a bowl spot under Coach Prime’s electric leadership.
Hunter and Sanders could bring the 2025 NFL Draft stage to life with their chemistry and unmatched talent.
The real question: which teams will pounce first? Fans, GMs, and scouts alike are buzzing, wondering who will be lucky enough to land this one-two punch.
If history’s about to repeat itself, these two are doing it in style — and in Prime fashion.
Hunter vs. Sanders: A Friendly Rivalry for the Top Draft Spot?
Hunter wants the spotlight — and the top NFL Draft pick to match. But could his bold statement spark a friendly rivalry with teammate and fellow top prospect Sanders?
On Kickin’ It With Dee, Hunter didn’t hold back. “I want to be the first pick,” he said, adding, “I never dreamed of it until a couple of years ago… I just want to be the first pick. I don’t care where it’s at; just get me there.”
Sanders, also eyeing the top spot, might have something to say about that. The Colorado quarterback is already getting buzz as a top NFL prospect. Draft analyst Todd McShay favored Sanders over Georgia’s Carson Beck, citing superior ball placement and game management. “Just keep an eye on how hard Carson Beck’s receivers have to work,” McShay noted, pointing out Sanders’ edge in scouting evaluations.
Hunter, a dual-threat phenom, has the versatility to back his claim. But with Sanders’ polished QB skills and growing hype, this could be one of the most intriguing NFL Draft storylines in years.
Hunter vs. Sanders? Rivals or not, both are on a trajectory to make history.
