Shedeur Sanders has ended all speculation about his future, affirming his intention to enter next year’s NFL draft. “I’ll be in the league,” Sanders said confidently, dispelling any thoughts of returning to Boulder for another season. His announcement followed light-hearted remarks from teammates who joked about him signing up for classes next year, a nod to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his next steps.

Sanders had previously discussed the idea of ​​staying in Colorado if given an impressive $10 million. This figure is almost double his current NIL valuation of $6.3 million, estimated by On3, highlighting his substantial earning potential in college football. Although the lure of a multimillion-dollar NIL deal might have kept him in Boulder, Sanders’ ambition to test his skills at the professional level appears to have taken over. His decision underlines his confidence and his desire to take the plunge, a decision awaited by fans and recruiters alike.

Despite his future plans, Sanders remains focused on his current commitment to the Buffaloes. Colorado is still in contention for a potential spot in the Big 12 title game, and Sanders is determined to lead his team into the critical home stretch of the season. His leadership, precision on the field and playmaking abilities have been instrumental in Colorado’s resurgence, and he will look to cap off his college career with a successful run.
