Sanders had a strong campaign for the Buffaloes in 2024 and expects to be a high pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders and Miami Hurricanes QB Cam Ward appear to be the top two quarterbacks available in the upcoming draft; however, it is still unclear who will have the edge and be selected higher on draft night.
This past season for the Buffaloes, Sanders had 4,134 passing yards, 41 total touchdowns, 10 interceptions, and an impressive completion percentage of 74.0%.
In PFSN’s latest 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, completed by Ben Rolfe, Sanders was the No. 2 QB selected and the No. 2 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns. Ward went No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans in that mock draft.
As Rolfe notes, “Sanders is a promising NFL prospect. He is a pocket passer with enough mobility to make him effective. There are concerns about his arm strength, but he mitigates those with his compact release and impressive accuracy. Those mechanics can hide concerns when pressured, which is a concern with the Browns’ offensive line ranking 20th last season.”
While only time will tell whether Sanders is in fact wearing a Browns uniform next season, it is evident that Vick will be receiving a jersey from whichever NFL team it is after Sanders’ first game in the league.
