Daniel Jeremiah: Colorado's Shedeur Sanders Comparable to Seahawks' Geno Smith

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has a similar playing style to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith coming out of college, according to NFL.com analyst and former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah.

Smith joined the NFL as a second-round pick by the New York Jets in 2013 after four seasons with West Virginia.

"Like Smith during his time with the Mountaineers, Sanders plays in a wide-open college offense that showcases his polish as a passer," Jeremiah wrote. "Both Smith and Sanders have beautiful throwing motions and deliver a firm/catchable ball. While each is capable of taking the free yards presented in the run game, neither is dynamic as a ball-carrier.
