Some trends are beginning to emerge for those who have yet to dive headfirst into the deep end of this year's NFL mock drafts. Most prospect evaluators and scouts have Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward over Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders like ESPN's Mel Kiper.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah ranked Miami quarterback Cam Ward just ahead of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his first big board for the 2025

In a conversation with Cam Ward, Colorado football quarterback Shedeur Sanders referred to himself as "legendary."

It’s a pretty rapid rise for the QB, who entered the 2024 season as a potential Day 3 selection in the 2025 draft. As Pauline notes, the player’s turnaround isn’t completely dissimilar to that of Jayden Daniels, who evolved from a fringe prospect into the eventual No. 2 pick.

Former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward have worked out together ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Two of the top quarterback prospects in this year's draft class took turns completing drills and throwing the football together, all while debating who is the generational prospect.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan praised Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward while talking to a reporter. Callahan acknowledged both quarterbacks’ impressive skills and leadership on the field.

Sanders won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2024. In a recent NFL mock draft by Athlon Sports' Luker Easterling, Sanders was selected at No. 6 by the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Tennessee Titans are slated to select 1st in the 2025 NFL draft and Mel Kiper sees them addressing their offense with that pick.

Sanders is smart and throws well within the structure of an offense. His experience under former Browns coach Pat Shurmur, who runs NFL-style concepts, will help him adapt quickly to the pros.

So would the Giants take Hunter at No. 3? Maybe. But Trapasso has them going with a quarterback — Alabama’s Jalen Milroe (followed by Hunter to the Patriots at No. 4). Which would be quite interesting, to say the least.

Miami's Cam Ward was announced Wednesday the 2024 Manning Award winner as the top college quarterback in the nation.
