Shedeur Sanders is showing that if you plant apples, you will grow apples. In this case, ‘how do you like dem apples’?
Sanders is the son of the legendary dual-threat sportsman Deion Sanders and is forging his own reputation in college football.
Sanders senior, we can call him that for now, as we are sure the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes won’t mind not being in the spotlight for a change.
Sanders junior is now the only player in the last 10 years of college football to complete at least 10 passes when pressured in three straight games.
The QB has led the Boulder team to a 3-0 record and a national ranking of 18th, after week 3’s stunning double overtime win over Colorado State.
Sanders will now lead his team to games against SCU, Oregon and Arizona, matches which could define a while new career trajectory for Prime Time.
Prime played in the NFL for 14 years, winning two Superbowl titles, was an All-State High School basketball player and starred in nine seasons in the MLB, reaching the World Series.
As if that is not impressive enough, he is forging a path as a top-level coach.
The young QB has thrown for 1,251 yards in his first three games this season, with 10 touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 80.0.
He has 107 completions in 136 attempts and has only thrown for one interception in the three matches, with his longest pass being 75 yards.
The son of Pro Hall of Famer CB Deion is likely to be on the radar of many NFL teams when the 2024 or 2025 draft names are released.
