Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders needed all of one game to become the talk of the college football world, as the junior turned in a record-setting effort in a win over No. 17 TCU on Saturday.
Sanders, in his first FBS game, recorded a school-record 510 passing yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in a 45–42 road victory, a statement game that not only impressed fans but drew the attention of a couple legendary quarterbacks and other prominent former players.
Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes and NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre were among the NFL legends praising Sanders’s monster debut and future under his father and first-year Colorado coach Deion Sanders.
