Fast forward a year and many, but not all, questions were answered Thursday night. Looking ahead to Friday, there are still multiple storylines to monitor, including when and where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will come off the board.

Once considered a contender to be the No. 1 overall pick, the Colorado quarterback was not selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders — the son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders — was passed on by quarterback-needy teams including the Giants, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders were just as bemused as a lot of people as they watched Buffs quarterback Shedeur Sanders slide out of the first round. Coach Prime was shaking his head as the New Orleans Saints used the No. 9 pick on Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr.
