Shedeur Sanders is very much like his father as he never lacks on confidence when it comes to his abilities on the field. Sanders isn’t letting a dip in his projected draft stock dampen his confidence. Despite seeing his ranking slide in early projections for the 2025 NFL Draft, he made a bold statement.
The Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback was recently asked whether he’s more like Michael Vick or Tom Brady, and he told Complex Sports he is a bit of both.
Speaking with Complex Sports, he asserted, “I’m a mixture of both.” Talking about his comparison, Sanders explained, “I’m able to stay composed in the pocket and deliver the ball consistently, like Brady.”
He also said, “But I also possess the agility and playmaking ability to extend plays, much like Vick.”
Sanders believes in his unique combination of abilities, as seen by his self-evaluation. Following his recent draft predictions, fans’ reactions to his comment were expected.

Shedeur Sanders isn’t the number one quarterback prospect in mock drafts anymore; instead, other quarterbacks like Carson Beck are preferred. Sanders isn’t discouraged, though. He considers his ability to combine agility and traditional passing to be a key component of his game. Sanders is criticized, though, since he has a propensity to hold onto the ball for too long. 52 sacks during the most recent NCAA season are a concerning result of it as well.
