The 2025 NFL draft is under a month away and the first round is set to begin on April 24. Shedeur Sanders has been one of the most talked about players in the draft class for weeks and fans should not expect to see that change over the next almost month.
Sanders has been projected to be a top-three pick quite often, but he has also seen his name drop all the way down into the 20's in the first round.
At this point in time, no one truly knows where he will end up going.
There is no denying the arm talent that Sanders possesses. During his college career split between Jackson State and Colorado, Sanders consistently put up big numbers.
Now, one NFL analyst has revealed an "elite" trait that scouts are sleeping on when it comes to the dynamic quarterback.
Sam Monson, during a segment on his show with Steve Palazzolo called "Check the Mic," dropped an impressive statistic about Sanders. He revealed that Sanders has a "mind-blowing" 1.7% turnover worth plate rate.
"That type of turnover worthy play rate is NFL league-leading level, it's an elite number," Monson said.
