Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders’ Only Wants To Play For 1 NFL Team

Colorado's Shedeur Sanders' Only Wants To Play For 1 NFL Team

Shedeur Sanders, the talented quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, has been turning heads with his on-field performances and off-field actions.

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, mere days after Texas QB Arch Manning made it clear that he wants to play for one particular NFL team, Sanders has subtly signaled his interest in potentially joining only one specific team.

That team?

The Las Vegas Raiders.

Shedeur’s social media activity, including a recent Instagram story featuring Allegiant Stadium, has fueled speculation about his future professional aspirations.

The young quarterback’s confidence and skill have positioned him as one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft class. With the Raiders currently struggling in the 2024 season, they may be in prime position to secure a high draft pick. Sanders’ apparent interest in the team, combined with his impressive college career, has sparked discussions among fans and analysts about the potential fit between the rising star and the storied franchise.

Shedeur Sanders’ Senior Season Showcased Remarkable Statistics

Shedeur Sanders elevated his game to new heights during his final year with the Colorado Buffaloes. The quarterback’s performance in 2024 was nothing short of exceptional, surpassing his already impressive 2023 debut. Sanders amassed 3,926 passing yards and threw for 35 touchdowns while maintaining excellent ball control with only eight interceptions. His precision and decision-making skills were evident in these numbers, solidifying his position among the top quarterbacks in college football.

Sanders’ contributions were instrumental in the Buffaloes’ dramatic turnaround. The team improved from a 4-8 record in 2023 to an impressive 9-3 in 2024. This resurgence earned Colorado a coveted spot in a bowl game, marking their return to postseason play for the first time since 2020.

And to top it all off, Deion Sanders has confirmed that he will play in this year’s Bowl Game for Colorado.

“We have a plethora of seniors that are pro-bound, and guess what? Every last one of them are gonna play,” the Buffs head coach said in a virtual press conference. “We don’t tap out. We don’t sit out. It’s a blessing to play this wonderful game and our kids are gonna play.”

He didn’t stop there, though.

“We’ve got a kid that’s probably gonna pick up — not probably, what am I talking about? — matter-of-factly gonna pick up the Heisman Trophy this week, and he’s gonna play,” Deion Sanders said. “We’ve got a quarterback that picked up an award last weekend, and he’s gonna play.”

How will Shedeur’s skillset ultimately serve him at the next level? Time will tell.
