ESPN's Jordan Reid ranked Colorado's Shedeur Sanders at No. 1 on the first edition of his 2025 QB Hot Board Monday ahead of players like Miami's Cam Ward, Georgia's Carson Beck, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Texas' Quinn Ewers, among others.
And some NFL executives agree.
"He's been the best of the bunch to me, and I've been impressed by his growth this year," an assistant general manager from an NFC team told Reid. "The on-field demeanor has been contagious so far, and the results have shown on that team this year."
Sanders has the numbers to back it up, throwing for 2,018 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions while completing an impressive 72.
