Sanders made a joke about what it would take to keep him out of the 2025 NFL Draft when he was chatting with colleague Omarion Miller.
“They said, bro, $10 million. I will return.
Joking that he might return for another season to play with Colorado wide receiver Omarion Miller
“They stated ten million…I will return.
In terms of NIL worth, Sanders is presently among the most valuable collegiate athletes. His $6.2 million valuation is the highest among collegiate players, according to On3. Travis Hunter, Sanders’ teammate and two-way Heisman candidate, has the next-highest NIL valuation in college football.
Sanders’ NIL worth is almost double that of the next highest-valued college football player, Hunter, who has a $3.4 million NIL valuation. He would be almost three times as valuable as the next highest-ranked player in the country if he were to sign a $10 million NIL contract.
QB Shedeur Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes has supported his value with his on-field performance.
His enormous worth is largely due to his status as the son of NFL veteran and Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, but after a devastating loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers early in the season, his on-field performance has lived up to the ridiculous expectations set by the media.
Sanders had his lowest completion rate of the season, threw a pick-six, and tied his season-low for completions against the Huskers. Since then, Sanders has only lost once, throwing for three touchdowns and almost 400 yards at an 85% completion percentage.
With just six interceptions this season, Sanders has thrown 2,591 yards and 21 touchdowns with a 73.3% completion rate. Sanders is only six touchdowns and roughly 600 yards away from surpassing his 2023 passing totals, despite throwing just three interceptions that season.
In order to sneak into the College Football Playoffs, the Buffaloes will probably need some assistance from across the nation in addition to a flawless season finale. The Buffaloes will now need to choose whether a quarterback in his third year of Power Five/Four competition who is ready for the NFL is worth the $10 million price tag.
