In recent years, there’s typically been a quarterback or two that have established themselves as the best or one of the best prospects at their position for the ensuing NFL Draft. Caleb Williams entered the 2023 season as a clear favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 while Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud were battling for that honor during the 2022 season, eventually going Nos. 1 and 2 in the 2023 NFL Draft.
As the 2024 college football season reaches its halfway point, there doesn’t appear to be a similar consensus formed among the quarterback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. However, Colin Cowherd believes there’s one quarterback who’s already emerged from the pack: Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.
“I think it’s pretty obvious: That’s the No. 1 pick,” Cowherd said of how he felt watching Sanders in Colorado’s loss to Kansas State last Saturday.
While Sanders wasn’t able to get the win, he had another impressive performance in Week 7. He completed 34 of 40 passes for 388 yards, three touchdowns and an interception against the Wildcats. He’s completed 72.6% of his passes for 2,018 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

Shedeur Sanders, same height, I never think about his height. It may not [make sense], but when I look at Shedeur Sanders — [Patrick] Mahomes and Shedeur Sanders are the same size. They play big. I think [Ward] comes across as a mover and a playmaker. I think Shedeur Sanders is easily the best quarterback in college. I think he’s separated [himself from the rest]. … Carson Beck without Brock Bowers is not the same.”
Cowherd isn’t alone in thinking that Sanders is…
