With the 2025 NFL Draft just weeks away, all eyes are on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, one of the most closely watched prospects in this year’s class. At his recent Pro Day, Sanders gave scouts a final look at his skill set-and while many were impressed, not everyone walked away without concerns.
Among the voices chiming in was New York Jets defensive back Andre Cisco, who took to social media to issue a sharp warning to Sanders. “Boy better stop patting that ball,” Cisco posted, referencing a tendency Sanders showed during his throwing reps. “We breakin onnat earlyyyy.”
Shedeur Sanders impresses with his arm strength at training camp
A subtle flaw with major implications
Cisco’s observation may sound minor, but for defenders at the NFL level, habits like patting the football before a throw can become glaring giveaways. Quarterbacks who telegraph their passes, even for a split second, can become easy targets for ball-hawking safeties like Cisco.
Sanders, however, has been praised for his ball security throughout his college career. In two seasons, he threw 64 touchdowns and only 13 interceptions, maintaining a completion rate above 70% in both years. Still, Cisco’s comment serves as a reminder: the leap from college to the NFL is steep, and even elite college habits can be liabilities on Sundays.
Sanders betting on himself
Despite the criticism, Sanders remains confident. Speaking recently on ESPN’s NFL Live, the quarterback made his case to front offices across the league.
“All I need is an opportunity. Simple,” Sanders said. “Whatever franchise wanna change they franchise, then it’s no doubt who to go with. I’ve done it. Over and over. You’d be a fool not to pick me.”
His confidence isn’t unfounded-Sanders has already helped reshape two college programs and believes he can set the tone for a locker room at the next level.
Draft night decision looms
Sanders may not be the first quarterback off the board-that title likely belongs to Cam Ward-but he won’t have to wait long. With several QB-needy teams in the top 10, all it might take is the right trade to land Sanders in a situation built for success.
The countdown to April 25 in Green Bay has begun, and Shedeur Sanders is ready for the spotlight-flaws and all.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders now has the chance to shut everyone up
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> You know what word we'd use to describe a QB who saves the Cleveland Browns?Legendary.Shedeur Sanders has been through a brutal weekend.

Shedeur Sanders draft slide ends: Browns pick Colorado QB in Round 5 of NFL Draft after trading up
Getty Images The wait is finally over for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as the Browns selected him with the No. 144 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, was widely expected to be a first- or second-round pick but instead fell all the way to the fifth round and was selected behind five other quarterbacks. The Browns gave up picks 166 and 192 to trade up 22 spots with the Seattle Seahawks for the right to select Sanders. Sanders now presumably gets a chance to develop and compete in a quarterback room that includes the injured Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett (acquired via trade), Joe Flacco (signed in April) and Dillon Gabriel (third-round pick). It's a far cry from where Sanders likely expected to be coming into this weekend, but he's still getting his NFL […]
