Teams see a ‘giant drop-off’ between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders as 2025 NFL Draft nears
NY Post
The gap between two of the most highly hyped quarterback prospects in this year’s lukewarm class is one of “giant” proportions.
That’s according to NFL insider Peter Schrager, who said Tuesday that Miami’s Cam Ward is viewed as a top option at quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, followed by an expansive space before Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, enters the frame.
“This year, Cam Ward’s got huge upside, but despite the great years he’s had at Washington State and Miami, he’s not viewed in that same category as those top three guys (last year), and then it’s a giant drop-off from what I gather and just viewed as prospects, not necessarily how they turn out, Shedeur, [Ole Miss quarterback] Jaxson Dart and then a bunch of unknowns,” Schrager said on “The Bill Simmons Podcast.”
“… I think Shedeur is viewed closer to Jaxson Dart than Shedeur is viewed closer to Cam Ward.”
There were quarterback options aplenty in 2024, as six players at the position were drafted in the first round.
Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye were the top three selections in last year’s draft, going to the Bears (No.1 ), Commanders (No. 2) and Patriots (No. 3), respectively.
