Shedeur Sanders’ remarkable start to the 2023 season at Colorado has the star QB in the Heisman Trophy conversation. Now, he’s starting to rise NFL Draft boards.
Sanders, who has thrown for more than 900 yards and six touchdowns without an interception in wins over TCU and Nebraska, is now projected as a first-round draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, per ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. Kiper, appearing on Monday Blitz, said Monday that Sanders is now a “guaranteed high first-round pick” should he turn pro in 2024.
Kiper currently has Sanders as the third-best quarterback in the 2024 class, behind USC’s Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye. But should Sanders stay at Colorado for his senior season in 2024 (and spend another year with fellow Buffaloes star Travis Hunter), Kiper believes the star QB would be on track to be the favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
