Amid tough 1-5 six-game stretch, Colorado football quarterback Shedeur Sanders boldly compares himself to two former NFL quarterbacks
Let’s start here: I believe this is a very, take a look and What’s really possible is that Colorado State football quarterback Shedeur Sanders could end up being the first quarterback taken off the board when the 2025 NFL Draft begins in about 18 months. I don’t necessarily think this is a hot take, especially considering Sanders was a four-star prospect out of Texas who will likely start his career at a school like Florida State, Alabama or Georgia ’s college career father Deion Sanders has not yet been hired as the head coach at Jackson State University.
Now in Boulder, Shaddell Sanders is making huge strides in his first season as the starting quarterback for a Colorado State football program that had been struggling for years before hiring Deion Sanders Completely dormant and completely irrelevant. Buffalo started the season on a high note and it was easy to keep up, but now, with the rigors of the Pac-12 schedule bursting Buffalo’s bubble, public sentiment toward Shaddell Sanders appears to have soured. But as you’d expect from the son of one of the most confident athletes ever, Scheidel still sees himself in his brightest light.
“Well, I would say it’s a mixture because I’m able to stay in the pocket and pass the ball,” Sanders responded when asked what quarterback he compared himself to in interview With Zion Olojede of Complex. “I can make plays like Brady, but I’m also able to extend plays, and if not, it’s like Vick. So it just depends, it’s fun every time something happens in the game, they’re like ‘Hey, You have to be Vick tonight. You have to be Mike Vick tonight. So that’s when we need the legs to get involved.”
Lord knows, a quarterback lacking confidence can easily become more rattled than a set of sand balls, but this is a pair of big names any college quarterback can compare himself to. Considering that Tom Brady, the acknowledged “GOAT” of pro football, and Michael Vick, the most prolific rushing quarterback in NFL history, making the roster his own will certainly generate a lot of discussion, especially in Colorado is 1-5 in six games at midfield. Those five losses cannot be placed on the shoulders of Scheidel, who played behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve seen in college football this year while holding up a defense that allowed more than 35 points five times this season.
Buffalo’s next game is Saturday against the Arizona Wildcats, who have beaten Washington State, Oregon State and UCLA in three straight weeks.
