As the 2025 NFL draft has approached, there has been greater skepticism over Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Viewed early in the draft process by many as a likely top-10 pick, Sanders now could fall to the late first round or potentially not get taken in the first round at all.
Though there have been concerns whether Sanders's arm is strong enough, the amount of sacks he took or even reports that have deemed he is "entitled" and "arrogant," Sanders does have the support of ESPN's Nick Saban. Saban, one of the greatest coaches in college football history, explained ahead of the draft why he is a "fan" of the Colorado quarterback.
