2025 NFL Draft Profile - QB Shedeur Sanders

[Mike FF Today 722]

Sanders elevated two programs during his college career. Can he do the same in the NFL?

I actually see some similar comments compared to Dak Prescott's scouting report when he came out of school.

I seem to recall the scouting report on Dak was hes not that good when the pass rush is in his face.   but then he landed in Dallas (who had what may have been the best O line in the NFL at that time) and proceeded to win the starting job once Romo got hurt.

I think Dak is a better runner than him but both of them could be a similar style of QB at the NFL level.    The QB run will be used when the pass play breaks down but wont be a regular play call by the offense.

I do think in a similar environment behind a good O line this kid can be good.   Might need a red shirt year to get to that point (especially if the O line is not doing a great job in pass protection)

I completely agree. I think the way I described him somewhere was a nice drive down the fairway, but not one that gets you on the green off the tee. I think he will be a capable-to-good QB, but I don't think he will put a franchise on his shoulders or make good players look great.

I think this statement describes about 25 QB's in the league.

probably fair.   I figure hes an adequate to good starter but not elite.
