It was rumored that the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, the teams that hold the top three picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, asked him not to throw at practice that week.

A date for Colorado’s pro day has yet to be announced. Most pro days typically take place in mid-to-late March, with the Buffaloes holding their 2024 pro day on March 19.

Colorado’s pro day this year will be one of the most anticipated events of this cycle. In addition to Sanders, two-way star Travis Hunter will also get a chance to showcase his skills in front of scouts. The Heisman winner was listed as a cornerback for the combine, which gives him an opportunity to work out earlier in the week if he chooses to do so.

Sanders has been viewed as one of the best quarterbacks in the 2025 draft class since he opted to return to Colorado for the 2024 season. He threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 13 games last year, adding four rushing touchdowns to help the Buffs finish 9-4.

FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt projects Sanders going No. 1 to the Giants (via trade) in his mock draft, while FOX Sports NFL Draft expert Rob Rang has the Las Vegas Raiders taking the QB with the sixth pick in his most recent mock draft.

Quarterbacks will go through drills at the combine on Saturday alongside wide receivers and running backs. It hasn’t been reported yet if Miami (Fla.)’s Cam Ward, the other top quarterback prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, also plans to skip the drills at the combine.
