The NFL Draft is just over one month away. Several standout college football quarterbacks headline this year’s draft as multiple teams holding early selections try to find their next franchise player.

Sheduer Sanders followed his Pro Football Hall of Fame father Deion Sanders to Colorado. The Buffaloes quarterback helped lift Colorado to an impressive 3-0 start. The losses then began to mount, but Sanders remained productive.

He finished the season with 27 touchdowns against three interceptions and 3,230 passing yards. Sanders threw 40 touchdowns in his final season at Jackson State, where he also played under his dad. Those numbers likely only added to Coach Prime's confidence in his son's draft prospects.

"I think he had the ability, but he probably would have been the second quarterback off the board," Sanders said, per The Athletic.

In just over a month, Sanders and the Buffaloes will take the field for the program's annual spring game. The scrimmage is scheduled for April 27, a weekend that just happens to coincide with the 2024 draft.
