Shedeur Sanders, one of the most electrifying college players — both on the field and for off-the-field discourse — is headed to the NFL. The Colorado quarterback was selected 144th overall on Saturday afternoon, setting the stage for him to grow off his stellar season of 4,134 passing yards at a 74% clip for 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
His ability blossomed in high school, where he emerged as a four-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite ranking. At Trinity Leadership (Cedar Hill, Texas), he broke the 3,000-yard passing mark as both a junior and senior, but truly thrived in his final year, when he passed for 3,477 yards and completed 73.
