Even though the Colorado Buffaloes had a mediocre 4-8 season last year, Shedeur Sanders still made headlines with 27 touchdowns. The excitement grew even more after he completed 10 out of 14 passes for 116 yards in the recent spring game. One of Shedeur’s biggest strengths is his ability to throw accurate deep balls, making him a star in college football.
However, he faces fierce competition from Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, another potential top prospect in the 2025 NFL draft. Milroe, who became the Crimson Tide’s starter midseason, also had an impressive 23-touchdown season. His muscular build and athletic running style make him a dual-threat quarterback, posing a unique challenge to Shedeur. With a completion rate of 65%, Milroe is close to Shedeur, signaling a tougher competition ahead. But the 2025 quarterback class isn’t limited to just these two names. Players like Quinn Ewers and Carson Beck will compete for the coveted No. 1 draft spot. With the 2024 season still ahead, much remains to be seen, and many such potential surprises could emerge for Shedeur.
