Shedeur Sanders on 2024 NFL Draft: ‘I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me’

Although he’s eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders is running it back for another season at Colorado. His first year with the Buffaloes didn’t necessarily go as planned en route to a 4-8 record, but he’s looking to turn things around this coming season.

If Sanders declared for the draft this year, though, he thinks he’d have a strong chance of going toward the top of the board. In fact, he thinks he’d be the best quarterback available.

“I’m biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me,” Sanders told Sports Illustrated’s Brice Butler. “I don’t see a quarterback that went through as much adversity as me, that had four different OCs in four years.

“Coming from an HBCU, coming to a Power Five [program], having real pressure on me. A lot of people don’t understand, that’s a lot more adversity than you think, just even being the son of Deion Sanders. You put any of those guys in [my] situation, they’re not doing that. But I respect their game. I respect what they’re doing because to be able to be a first-round draft pick, to be able to have success on the field, it takes a lot of hard work and determination and everything. And they’ve got different challenges they go through. But the most pressure and the safest bet is me.”
