One of the highest-rated prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class is Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders has generated tremendous buzz at the NFL level this season, with many believing that he will be the first quarterback to hear his name come off the board in April.
One player to rave about Sanders’ upside is former NFL quarterback Troy Aikman, who spoke about the NFL ceiling of Shedeur Sanders to TMZ Sports.
“I do think he’s a franchise quarterback. I love his game,” Aikman said. “I’ve obviously been watching him for a number of years. I know his father intimately well and wish him the best, of course, as well. What Shedeur has been able to do has been remarkable. You know, to start first, going back to when he was young before he went off to college. But, you know, success has followed him.”
“It’s not a surprise for anyone who’s followed Deion’s career and what he’s done as a coach as well,” Aikman continued. “So, I’m excited for Colorado. I’m excited for Shedeur and really looking forward to seeing what he might do at the NFL level. My expectation is that he’s going to have a hell of a career.”
In 2024, Sanders emerged as one of the nation’s best quarterbacks. He completed 337 passes for 3,926 yards and a touchdown to interception ratio of 35-8. He’s currently listed as the top quarterback in the upcoming draft class and has a good chance of being the first player off the board.
