Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Deion's Son, Favored to Be No. 1 Pick in 2025 NFL Draft

Shedeur Sanders is the early favorite to be the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

The Colorado star quarterback and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders is currently at +100 odds to be the No. 1 pick next year via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Sanders has an entire season ahead to prove that he should be the No. 1 pick, and earning the best odds could be motivation for him to live up to the lofty expectations.

Sanders has had an outstanding collegiate career so far. His best season came in 2022 when he was still at Jackson State when he notched 3,732 passing yards, 40 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

His impressive numbers continued when he joined Colorado and the Power 5 ranks, picking up 3,230 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and three interceptions.

If he can perform well in the 2024 season, it won't be a surprise to see Sanders off the board very early.

As he looks to put up big numbers, he'll be looking to help the Buffaloes improve after a rocky start to the Deion era. Colorado looked poised for a big year after starting the season 3-0, but it lost seven of its last eight games to finish the year 4-8.

Along with returning Sanders, the Buffaloes will bring back two-way star Travis Hunter—another potential first-round pick. The star duo will look to lead Colorado to a better year while also raising their draft stock.
