Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has received a lot of attention and accolades throughout his college career. There have been milestones, records, and awards at both Jackson State and Colorado. However, perhaps his biggest compliment came from Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan.
In an interview with ESPN’s Turron Davenport, Callahan compared Sanders to none other than Joe Burrow.
“People had questions about Burrow’s arm strength in general coming out,” Callahan said. “One of the things that makes Joe so unique, and I think you can probably put Shedeur in the same conversation. … They anticipate when they throw it, they have the timing and accuracy on top of it. That makes up for the arm strength.”
It’s wild to think that anyone would be compared to the quarterback who had perhaps the single greatest season in college football history. Burrow finished his 2019 season with 5,671 passing yards, 60 touchdowns, and a 76.3 percent completion percentage. Sanders finished his 2024 campaign with 40 touchdowns and a 74 percent completion percentage which also led the country.
Sanders has been considered a near lock to be one of the top two quarterbacks overall in the 2025 Draft which takes place April 24-26 in Green Bay.
