A survey of NFL executives and coaches ranks Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders dead last among 35 quarterbacks, according to reports citing league personnel. The assessments come as part of early evaluations ahead of the preseason rather than during regular-season play. The reports say at least one executive or coach characterizes Sanders as a quarterback opponents should be able to handle, with one comment stating teams “shouldn’t lose to him.” Another quote included in the coverage references Sanders “sleep[ing] like a baby” when facing him, presenting a view that his presence does not change expectations for opposing teams. Across the two outlets, the central points are consistent: Sanders receives the lowest ranking in the quarterback group, and the reasoning attributed to respondents reflects confidence that he would not be a significant threat at the NFL level in their view. The reports frame the survey as a league-wide opinion gathered from team decision-makers and coaches, highlighting that it is not based on an NFL game record at this stage but on projections and impressions.
