Coach Prime’s pride and confidence are not unfounded. His son, Shedeur Sanders, and his “adopted son,” Travis Hunter, possess unique qualities that set them apart. While they are not part of this year’s draft, their potential rankings next year have already sparked extensive discussions among analysts.

Coach Prime’s insights on Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter’s prospective positions in the 2025 NFL Draft, shared during his appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game, carry weight. He suggested they could go “anywhere from one through four.” Adding to this, Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, a respected figure in the NFL, shares his thoughts on the Buffs duo.

Tyreek Hill seconds Deion Sanders’ confidence in them. During his interview on the same podcast on April 21, the Cheetah dropped his opinion on the two Buffs players’ potential position in next year’s draft. He said, “Those two boys going top five, Travis Hunter and Shedeur.”

In addition to his projection, the Super Bowl champion also delivers his take on what position two-way star Travis Hunter should play. He said, “Travis Hunter should play receiver. His ability to just catch the ball, run routes, and receivers get paid a whole lot more money man.” Tyreek Hill, a former track and field star, is a dominant WR who won eight Pro Bowl selections in each of his seasons in the NFL. As a pro player watching Shedeur Sanders and Hunter, could his projection be anywhere near accurate?

Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter showed promise in 2023

Despite several adversities, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are already garnering attention because of their impressive performance last season. Shedeur Sanders was sacked 52 times and missed one game, but he still managed to shine with 3,230 passing yards and 27 touchdowns. His confidence in himself is clear when he says, “I’m biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me.”

However, he triumphed as a two-way player by recording 57 catches for 721 yards and five TDs on offense while locking 30 total tackles, five passes defended, and three interceptions on defense.
