Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders broke the internet with a beautiful deep ball throw that seemingly took little effort.
Shedeur Sanders was one of the top quarterbacks in college football during his first season in Boulder, completing 69.3 percent of his pass attempts for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and only three interceptions to go along with four rushing scores.
The @NFLRookieWatxh X/Twitter account posted a video of Sanders throwing a bomb with the simple flick of his wrist. And just look at where the projected 2025 first-round pick places this ball with such a small window:
The Buffaloes will return to the Big 12 Conference this season after spending the previous 13 years (2011 to 2023) in the Pac-12. 2023 marked the first season with Deion Sanders as head coach, and though they suffered a seventh straight losing season, the 4-8 finish was a considerable improvement from the 2022 group that went 1-11.
Shedeur is projected to be one of the first quarterbacks selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. In his early 2025 first-round mock draft, ESPN’s Jordan Reid projected Sanders to go fifth overall to the Las Vegas Raiders vi

Shedeur Sanders & Buffaloes Aim To Build Off Roller-Coaster Year
After a successful three-year run as the Jackson State head coach, Deion Sanders accepted a lucrative offer to take over as the Buffaloes’ head coach. Colorado was the biggest story in the first month of the 2023 season, jumping out to a perfect 3-0 start.
But things quickly went downhill for the Buffaloes after two-way star Travis Hunter suffered a lacerated liver in the team’s win over the Colorado State Rams. The Buffaloes lost two of three games without Hunter, and they never recovered after that.
Colorado lost six straight games to close out the season. But after a long offseason full of notable recruitments and additions via the transfer portal, the Buffaloes are in a good spot to improve considerably in year two under “Prime Time.”
