Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is one of the biggest reasons why the Buffaloes sit in the center of the college football universe in only two weeks into the 2023 season.
Shedeur, the son of first-year Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, produced another excellent performance on Saturday in Colorado’s 36-14 victory against Nebraska, throwing for 393 yards on 31-of-42 passes, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
As the Heisman Trophy hype for the junior signal caller continues to rise, ESPN’s Pat McAfee believes Shedeur should be the No. 3 selection in the ’24 NFL draft behind Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye.
