Shedeur Sanders is one of the biggest names in all of college football.
Sure, a whole lot of that has to do with who his father is … Of course, I’m referring to legendary Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who also serves as Shedeur’s head coach at Colorado.
Having said that, Shedeur is a very talented quarterback who many scouts feel has a bright future in the NFL.
It’s no secret that Shedeur loves all of the attention and hype and hoopla that surrounds him.
Whether he’s poking opponents in the eyes, taunting them with his watch or walking in fashion shows across the globe, Shedeur loves every single bit of his celebrity status.
There are rumblings that some in the NFL are turned-off by his attittude. However, there are others who view him as the possible #1 overall pick come next April’s draft.
Love him or hate him, he’s going to be an NFL quarterback. The only question is just how good will he be?
If he ends up being as good as he thinks, Shedeur could be quite a special player in the league.
When asked by Complex Sports to draw a comparison to his game, Shedeur proclaimed that he’s a combination of Tom Brady and Michael Vick.
“I’m a mixture of both,” he confidently stated.
“I’m able to stay composed in the pocket and deliver the ball consistently, like Brady. But I also possess the agility and playmaking ability to extend plays, much like Vick.”
Time will tell if Shedeur is able to transform into a Brady-Vick monster on the field.
Either way, Colorado is going to have their hands full this coming season.
The Buffs have serious offensive line issues and were picked to finish 11th in the Big 12 in the conference’s preseason poll.
Of course, preseason polls mean absolutely nothing and there’s no doubt Shedeur and his father will use the projection as motivation. (As they should.)
“Coach Prime” has enormous expectations for his son.
Deion previously stated his belief that had he entered this past April’s draft, Shedeur would have been the second quarterback selected, after only USC’s Caleb Williams.
The fact of the matter is we have an entire season to play, and it will be fascinating to see how everything shakes out.
As it stands right now, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck is widely-regarded as the top overall pick in next year’s draft. (Texas’ Quinn Ewers may end up having something to say about that.)
Can Shedeur catch up to those two???
What are your thoughts on Shedeur as a quarterback?
Do you look at him as a blend of Tom Brady and Michael Vick? … Or do you think he was a little off with that comparison?
How do you think he and Deion will do in Boulder this coming season?
When it’s all said and done, will Shedeur end up becoming an elite NFL quarterback?
As it stands right now, would you rather have Shedeur, Beck or Ewers???
