Colorado Buffaloes offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur oversaw Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter as they each recorded successful seasons in 2024, with Hunter becoming a Heisman Trophy winner and Sanders winning the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award.
Shurmer, who previously worked as an NFL head coach for the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants and has been at least the co-offensive coordinator in Colorado since Sanders and Hunter arrived in 2023, clearly sees both Sanders and Hunter projecting to the next level. He has given NFL teams a simple answer about who to take in the draft this April: If their team needs a quarterback, take Shedeur Sanders. If they don't need a quarterback, pick Travis Hunter.
