Shedeur Sanders tells NFL executive Tim Ellis "We Coming" to the league in 2025
We've known Shilo and Shedeur Sanders will be entering the 2025 NFL Draft. Coach Prime has made that statement publicly on a few different occasions. But the Colorado Buffaloes QB further cemented his stance at the NFL Honors on Thursday night.
While walking around with his older brothers prior to the ceremony, Sanders ran into NFL Chief Marketing Officer Tim Ellis and told him what's about to happen via Well Off Media. "We definitely plan to play in your league the following year," Sanders said. "We're going into the Draft in 2025." Ellis responded by saying that he was ready for it to happen.
The Sanders brothers have unfinished business going into next year. With a 4-8 record and having the season end the way it did, it's going to be "personal" for them to put together another career year in Boulder. Shedeur broke CU's single-season mark with 3,230 passing yards. He was close to setting the mark for touchdowns as well. Keep in mind, Sanders fell short after missing the final six quarters of the season with a fractured back.
Not to look too far ahead, but CU's Senior Day against Oklahoma State on Nov. 29 is setting up to be one of the best in school history. Especially, if projections are accurate with both Sanders brothers and Travis Hunter coming out the same year. The one and only time Colorado has produced three first-round NFL Draft picks in the same year was 1976.
