Shedeur Sanders 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.75 seconds

Shedeur Sanders was a starter from the moment he entered college, collecting 26 career starts without missing a game at Jackson State. Starting at Colorado, he already has a lot of football experience and has 6,975 passing yards and 70 touchdown passes, posting what would be a 109.9 NFL passer rating.

He’s capable as a runner as well, running for 655 yards and scoring 9 touchdowns on the ground. While he’s not a speedy runner, he is savvy with where he uses his legs and can extend the play outside of the pocket. Sanders also displays the ability to extend and improvise when he is forced to. Those traits all translate to higher levels of football and all eyes will be on him at Colorado to see if he continues to play well against the higher level of competition.

He’s estimated to be worth $6,200,000 in NIL value.
