QB expert explains why Shedeur Sanders may benefit from staying in college over entering NFL Draft

QB expert Jordan Palmer explains to Fox News Digital why Colorado's Shedeur Sanders may benefit more from staying in school.

As Shedeur Sanders continues to make national headlines with each game for the Colorado Buffaloes, many wonders whether the young quarterback will use this attention to enter the NFL Draft. 

Quarterback guru Jordan Palmer, founder of the QB Summit and quarterback coach to some of the best in the NFL today, including Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, has been impressed by what he's seen on tape from the 21-year-old signal caller. 

And while he won't tell Sanders to stay in college or head into the pros, Palmer made a case for the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders to wait.

"There’s going to be a lot of merit in staying. Maybe partly because of draft stock, but maybe because of unfinished business," Palmer told Fox News Digital. 

One of the first reasons Palmer discussed is what is changing the entire college athletics landscape now: NIL deals. According to On3, Sanders is the second-highest paid college athlete per NIL brand deals in the NCAA, earning $4.8 million. 

"He was on a commercial 10 minutes ago while I was sitting here," Palmer said laughing. "I don’t know if there’s going to be a ton of intrigue in going."
