Shedeur Sanders is very much like his father as he never lacks on confidence when it comes to his abilities on the field. Sanders isn’t letting a dip in his projected draft stock dampen his confidence. Despite seeing his ranking slide in early projections for the 2025 NFL Draft, he made a bold statement.
The Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback was recently asked whether he’s more like Michael Vick or Tom Brady, and he told Complex Sports he is a bit of both.
Speaking with Complex Sports, he asserted, “I’m a mixture of both.” Talking about his comparison, Sanders explained, “I’m able to stay composed in the pocket and deliver the ball consistently, like Brady.”
He also said, “But I also possess the agility and playmaking ability to extend plays, much like Vick.”

Shedeur Sanders isn’t the number one quarterback prospect in mock drafts anymore; instead, other quarterbacks like Carson Beck are preferred. Sanders isn’t discouraged, though. He considers his ability to combine agility and traditional passing to be a key component of his game. Sanders is criticized, though, since he has a propensity to hold onto the ball for too long. 52 sacks during the most recent NCAA season are a concerning result of it as well.
Sanders, who transferred to CU after two years at Jackson State, completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns for the Buffaloes last season.
