Former NFL GM believes the Buffs Heisman favorite could break mold in NFL
, Hall-of-Famer and former Denver Broncos general manager John Elway shared glowing insights on Colorado Buffaloes stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, both of whom have garnered national attention under head coach Deion Sanders. Elway emphasized Hunter’s extraordinary versatility and Sanders' poised potential for an NFL career.
Hunter has delivered unprecedented results in college football, playing 688 defensive snaps and 672 offensive snaps, a feat unmatched at the FBS level. He leads Power 4 conferences with a school-record 14 receiving touchdowns, ranks second with 92 catches, and has totaled 1,152 receiving yards, the fifth-highest in Colorado history. Defensively, his lockdown corner abilities are undeniable—allowing just 22 receptions, while intercepting passes at a rate of one every 10.
Turning his attention to Shedeur Sanders, Elway praised the Buffaloes' quarterback for his development and ability to transition to the NFL. "He can make all the throws. He's a great athlete and can move around. He has a great feel for the game," Elway said. "His father is going to tell him what a jump it is from college football to the NFL. It's a huge jump. But he's got the ability to do it.
