The 2024 NFL Draft is loaded with quarterback talent, but one signal-caller not in this year’s group thinks he’s better than them all.
USC’s Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye are projected to be drafted in the top five, while Colorado quarterback Shedule Sanders is projected to be a top-five pick if taken in this year’s draft. I think there is a possibility that he will be nominated earlier.
Conversation with Sports Illustrated Speaking in Las Vegas ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl, Sanders previously revealed that he and his father, Dion, would stay in Colorado for another year, but where he would go if he is selected in this year’s draft. I was asked a straight question.
The Buffaloes star said he respects them but thinks they have more talent than this year’s group, which includes the 2022 Heisman winner (Williams) and ACC Player of the Year (Maye). .
In addition to these two QBs, many mock drafts project LSU’s Jaden Daniels and Oregon State’s Bo Nix to be selected within the first 15 picks.
“I’m biased, but there’s no better quarterback than me,” Sanders told SI on Friday. “I’ve never seen a quarterback go through as much adversity as I have. [offensive coordinators] Within 4 years.
“Coming from an HBCU to a Power Five [school], is putting a lot of pressure on me. What a lot of people don’t understand is that it’s a lot more adversity than you would think just being Deion Sanders’ son. ”
Sanders and his father gained attention early in Buffalo’s 2023 season as the team went 3-0, but slumped late and finished 4-8.
But Sanders excelled despite the uneven play of his offensive line, completing 69.3 percent of his passes for a school-record 3, 230 passing yards and 27 touchdowns.
Next season, the Giants will hire former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur as full-time offensive coordinator with play-calling duties and welcome five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton to the team.
In September, Coach Prime told Bleacher Report that Schedeur didn’t want to be a “backseat rider” for Williams or anyone else.
With one more year to make his case for the draft, Sanders could have a chance to be in the driver’s seat at the highest salary in 2025.
