Sanders, 23, said he knows he can turn an NFL franchise around.

“If you don’t try to change the franchise or culture, don’t get me. Then you need to know that the story is repeating itself again and again and I have done it again and again, so there should be no doubt why the NFL franchises should choose me.”
A key to turning a franchise around is a strong leadership, as Colorado Star Quarterback said is his best trait.
“I would say to be a leader, it is my best trait in general because everything is mentally. So if I play my game from my neck up, I was able to adapt to my players, to make them have relatability for them to get to know me, for us to do everything smooth. People and that people and make everything a real, “” said “.
“That’s why I interact with people here, I love to interact with people so they can really get to know me and not just know clicks or something similar.”
Sanders emphasized the importance of being in a strong mental headspace on the field.

“It’s extremely important to keep your mental in the best place because it’s where my game is played. My game is not played from my legs and not even just my arm. So I know long life, the big times. What is Tom Brady’s best trait? His mental cheating. ” It’s the ultimate cheating. “You have the ultimate.”
A lot of experts have said the top two quarterbacks in this class, Sanders and Miamis Cam Ward, are not as good as quarterbacks in last year’s class.
2024 -quarterback class included Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr., JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix, with a few of these quarterbacks that have immediate success in their rookie season.
While Sanders may not have been chosen high in last year’s class, the big 12 offensive player of the year questioned those who do not see him as the top quarterback over Ward in the 2025 draft.

“When people say I’m not one of the top quarterbacks or the top quarterback, what are you going to go based on? Because I did it year after year and you see the progression. Obviously it has to be a kind of external hatred you have for the family, for the surname, for something because I know I have proven on the field.”
Last season with Colorado, Sanders threw to 4,314 yards and 37 touchdowns with 10 interceptions, which helped lead the buffalo to a 9-4 record and a bowl game look.

Sanders’ game is a big reason why the team improved to 9-4 after walking 4-8 the previous season; Colorado was 1-11 the year before the Sanders family came over.
There are a few quarterback-needle teams at the top of the draft that can choose Sanders or Ward. Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants disagree with the Quarterback position and have the first three choices in the draft.
Only time will show where Sanders ends and if he really turns that franchise around.
