2025 NFL Draft Prospects: Quarterback

2/10/24: Sanders was very good in 2023, completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and three interceptions. He had four rushing touchdowns as well. Multiple team sources said they saw Sanders as a potential first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

An area scout told WalterFootball.com:

“He won’t wow with physical tools, …. But his arm is good enough, especially in the short and intermediary. Mentally, he can operate at incredible speed. He could be the most NFL ready as far as football I.Q.; he bleeds confidence and charisma. He’ll own a team immediately because of his competitiveness and obvious advantage having grown up in the rare NFL bubble. Pro ball will not scare him.”

Sanders previously dominated at Jackson State over two seasons before transferring to Colorado to continue to play for his father. In 2021, Sanders completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,231 yards, 30 touchdowns and eight interceptions. In 2022, he completed 71 percent of his passes for 3,732 yards, 40 touchdowns and six interceptions.

2/10/24: In 2023, Ewers completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. He flashed some big-time potential for Texas in 2022. That season, he completed 58 percent of his passes in 2022 for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. While Ewers needs to get more consistent, he has a big arm and serious passing talent.

2/10/24: Allar completed 60 percent of his passes in 2023 for 2,631 yards, 25 touchdowns and two interceptions. There is no doubt that Allar has a powerful arm and the potential to be a dangerous pocket passer.

2/10/24: After a bit of a slow start to 2023, Beck heated up for Georgia, showing off a powerful arm and an ability to push the ball downfield. On the year, Beck completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,941 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has upside with serious arm talent and could become a legit quarterback prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

2/10/24: Leonard has good size to him and arm talent. He broke out in 2022, completing 64 percent of his passes for 2,967 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. In 2023, Leonard completed 58 percent of his passes for 1,102 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. He also had four rushing touchdowns. Leonard missed a game with a leg injury suffered at the end of the loss to Notre Dame. He came back for two more games before exiting the lineup again. Leonard went out for the year in late October. After the season, he announced he was entering the transfer portal.

Leonard played well at times during 2023, but his performance against Notre Dame illustrated that he needs more development in terms of accuracy while getting rushed and staying poised under pressure. He was wise to transfer to Notre Dame to continue developing before going pro.
