Shedeur Sanders Tied for Highest Rated Quarterback in College Football 25

Sanders, the Colorado quarterback, proved last season that he has a ton of talent, but it didn't translate to a ton of success on the field. However, EA Sports has given him the the highest rating among quarterbacks, 93 overall, tied with Carson Beck of Georgia, who is the co-favorite for the Heisman Trophy.

Beck is the signal caller for arguably the best team in college football, the Bulldogs are the betting favorite to win the National Championship and rated the best in the game, while Colorado's Sanders will look to get the Buffs to a bowl game in what would be a success in the eyes of oddsmakers.

Despite a ton of talent, Sanders had 3,230 passing yards with 27 passing touchdowns to go with three interceptions, the son of head coach Deion Sanders isn't viewed as a threat to win the Heisman.

The other two QB's at the top of the Heisman board, co-favorite Dillon Gabriel of Oregon and third choice Quinn Ewers of Texas, are tied for the third best rating in the video game. Meanwhile, Group of Five standout Kaidon Salter of Liberty is rated at 90, the eighth highest mark, but the Flames dual threat QB isn't near the conversation for the Heisman Trophy despite a ton of talent.
