Mel Kiper Jr. says Shedeur Sanders is a guaranteed 1st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft
Shedeur Sanders the son of Deion Sanders has looked amazing in his first two games against TCU and Nebraska. He has thrown for 900 plus yards and 7 touchdowns and has zero interceptions.
Sanders looks amazing in the pocket and has poise. He looks like a 10 year NFL veteran in the pocket and the game has slowed down to him.
Well, Mel Kiper Jr. said some things today that will fire up NFL fans.
Kiper Jr. put Sanders as the third best quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, and said he will be the best quarterback and the guaranteed number one pick if he stayed until the 2025 NFL Draft.
In an appearance on Monday Blitz, Kiper said that Sanders is a “guaranteed, high first-round pick.”
“It was a wait-and-see, coming from Jackson State to Colorado… How would they perform?” Kiper said.
“They’ve been unbelievable,” he continued. “To me right now, he’s a guaranteed high first-round pick. I think when you look at the way he’s played at Colorado, in this Sean Lewis offense, the accuracy has been unbelievable. He was at 68 percent at Jackson State those two years. He’s at 77.5 [percent at Colorado]. Hasn’t thrown an interception.
This sounds like a pretty solid endorsement for the young quarterback.
