Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is the rare college football coach who could show up on “CBS Mornings,” “The Today Show” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” during the second week of March — when college football is hardly on the minds of sports fans — and can make news.
While discussing his book, “Elevate and Dominate,” Fallon mentioned there are some who believe Sander’s son, Shedeur, could be considered for the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
“He should,” Prime said of his son, who threw for 3,320 yards and 27 touchdowns while completing better than 69% of his passes last year for the Buffaloes.
Coach Prime is not wrong about that consideration. While this year’s NFL Draft class is loaded with top-end talent at the quarterback position, there are plenty of questions surrounding next year’s QB class.
Here is a look at the quarterbacks who could declare for the 2025 Draft and how Sanders’ production stacks up.
1. Shedeur Sanders
In addition to the jaw-dropping numbers he’s posted throughout his collegiate career, Sanders is also the most popular player in the sport. Fanatics reported his jersey to be the top seller among college football fans last year, despite Colorado going 4-8. You’re also going to have Prime’s participation.
2. Quinn Ewers, Texas
In 2023, Ewers completed 69% of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 TDs and six interceptions en route to Texas’ first conference title since 2009 and first College Football Playoff appearance ever. Ewers’ arm talent is unquestionable, and he showed that against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, passing for 349 yards and three TDs in the Longhorns’ signature win. He might be the best deep-ball passer in the 2025 class. But he also hasn’t managed to play a full season without missing games due to injury.
3. Carson Beck, Georgia
Beck completed 72% of his passes for 3,941 yards with 24 TDs and six INTs in 2023….
