Every NFL prospect is currently scrutinized by evaluators to determine their potential draft selection during the upcoming 2025 draft. The NFL Scouting Combine is set to clarify the landscape, particularly the quarterback class. Unlike previous years with clear rankings, this year’s crop is less certain. Reports indicated that Miami’s Cam Ward has emerged as QB1, raising questions about who will follow him.

Shedeur Sanders has been regarded as the number two quarterback, previously projected as a top-five pick. Recent mock drafts predict the New York Giants might select him with their third overall pick. Currently, he’s ranked 24th overall by CBS Sports and second among quarterbacks.

If doubts arise about his status as the second quarterback off the board, his draft stock may drop, suggesting another player may rise in rankings. After Sanders, Jaxson Dart and Quinn Ewers are marked as strong contenders but ranked lower.

Sanders had an impressive 2024 season at Colorado, leading the Buffalos to a 9-4 record, completing 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards, with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, earning him first-team All-Big 12 recognition and being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

As the draft approaches, Sanders’ future as a first-round pick remains uncertain.
