The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has a very high chance to be the first quarterback taken in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the NFL regular season coming to a close this weekend followed by the conclusion of the College Football Playoff, a lot of eyes are already fully turned to the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Is things currently stand, the New England Patriots would be picking No. 1 overall, with quarterback-desperate teams waiting behind them. Given New England has Drake Maye as their franchise quarterback, they would draft a position player if they stay at their pick.

That could be very good news for Travis Hunter. But for his Colorado teammate, Shedeur Sanders, it would take the quarterback out of the running to be the top player taken. With only Cam Ward as his draft class competition at the position, Sanders would likely only fall one or two picks in that scenario. Not everyone is sold on Sanders’ NFL potential, but league franchises certainly seem to be. Now, Sanders has gotten the seal of approval from an all-important former player: Tom Brady.

Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson recently came out with an in-depth article in which he spoke to football executives around the NFL about Sanders and Ward. In it, he revealed details about Brady’s thoughts on Sanders, and the greatest of all-time is impressed.

Tom Brady loves Shedeur Sanders’ accuracy, leadership and preparation

From what I’ve been told about Brady’s opinion of Sanders… there is a great amount of respect for Sanders’ focus on preparation, his ability to learn and adapt, his accuracy and determination in the pocket, and his toughness to take hits and still be resilient… He also stayed in school for four years and developed, which is something Brady has repeatedly and publicly said he values in a young quarterback.

Brady’s opinion is important because he’s arguably the most important quarterback in NFL history. But it’s also important because Brady owns a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, who are one of the main teams looking for a new QB in the draft.

How much weight Brady’s voice holds over the Raiders front office is to be debated. The Raiders are also not in a position to draft Sanders, as they currently hold the eighth overall pick. But a big move up for Brady’s “guy” could very well be possible.

Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.

There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.

If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.

Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:

“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…

Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
