At one point in the not-so-distant past there was a universe in which a pair of former Colorado Buffaloes stars would have made up two of the top picks in the 2025 NFL draft. When the first round came on Thursday, Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter lived up to the billing and was picked No. 2 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Shedeur Sanders, on the other hand, sat and watched as his name went uncalled over the first two and a half days of the draft.
