Shedeur Sanders will be followed closer than most rookies in the NFL this season. Of course, that is due in large part to his fall to 144th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, the 23-year-old isn’t going to let his career be defined by his draft spot.
He is already working hard in OTAs and training camp. However, one of his recent throws at practice went viral on the internet.
