Shedeur Sanders just wrapped up a season where he was the most efficient quarterback in the country. The former Colorado Buffalo is projected to be drafted in the first round and has a chance to be the first quarterback selected come draft day.
Sanders passed up on the opportunity to throw in front of NFL scouts and GMs at the NFL Combine, but he plans on participating in Colorado’s Pro Day.
Shedeur Sanders’ Status for Colorado’s Pro Day
Sanders is planning on participating in Colorado’s Pro Day. Sanders’ stock, once one of the best in the NFL Draft, has been declining throughout the offseason, especially after he did not throw at the NFL Combine.
If Sanders wants to prove to scouts that he has the tools to be an elite NFL quarterback, he must have a great Pro Day, especially when he throws.
There’s no question that Sanders was one of the best quarterbacks in the country last season. He threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also completed a whopping 74% of his passes, which was the highest mark in the country.
While Sanders performed well at the college level, many scouts and analysts have questioned his arm talent. He sometimes struggled to make downfield passes that would have been considered routine at the NFL level.
There are also some question marks surrounding the number of sacks that Sanders took last year and whether he held on to the ball too long.

Sanders has a chance to silence all of those doubts at Colorado Pro Day, which will be held on April 4 at the Buffaloes indoor facility. If Sanders balls out at the Pro Day, there’s a chance we see him drafted inside the top 10.
