Arguably the most compelling prospect at the 2025 NFL Draft is Shedeur Sanders. The Colorado quarterback checks off numerous essential boxes, especially as draft week has arrived. With the most important position in the sport, and a father in the Pro Football Hall of Fame coaching him at the collegiate level, it remains uncertain where he will land.
