Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Deion's Son, Favored to Be No. 1 Pick in 2025 NFL Draft
Set Number: X164462
Shedeur Sanders is the early favorite to be the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
The Colorado star quarterback and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders is currently at +100 odds to be the No. 1 pick next year via DraftKings Sportsbook.
Sanders has an entire season ahead to prove that he should be the No. 1 pick, and earning the best odds could be motivation for him to live up to the lofty expectations.
Sanders has had an outstanding collegiate career so far. His best season came in 2022 when he was still at Jackson State when he notched 3,732 passing yards, 40 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
His impressive numbers continued when he joined Colorado and the Power 5 ranks, picking up 3,230 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and three interceptions.
If he can perform well in the 2024 season, it won’t be a surprise to see Sanders off the board very early.
As he looks to put up big numbers, he’ll be looking to help the Buffaloes improve after a rocky start to the Deion era. Colorado looked poised for a big year after starting the season 3-0, but it lost seven of its last eight games to finish the year 4-8.
Along with returning Sanders, the Buffaloes will bring back two-way star Travis Hunter—another potential first-round pick. The star duo will look to lead Colorado to a better year while also raising their draft stock.
Four people were taken to the hospital after a crash in Colorado’s high country on Friday evening.
The Colorado State Patrol said three vehicles were involved in a crash on east I-70 near milepost 254 (east of South Mount Vernon Country Club Road) around 5:50 p.m. They said the rear-end crash involved a semi hauling a trailer, a Dodge Durango and a Chevrolet Silverado.
Four people in the Dodge were taken to a local area hospital, but the extent of their injuries is not yet known. CSP said no other people involved in the crash were injured.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
Authorities closed I-70 at milepost 254 for approximately 1.5 hours while they investigated and cleared the scene.
CSP warned drivers that the winter weather has caused icy and snow-packed areas along the highway. They urged drivers to delay traveling through the area until conditions improve. Those who must travel through the area should leave extra space between vehicles and reduce their speed.
Dog survives 43 days in Colorado mountains and reunites with owner
After 43 days lost in the Colorado mountains, a Ring camera helps volunteers find and reunite 10-year-old dog, Rocky, with his owners.
A dog named Rocky was rescued and reunited with his owner after surviving 43 days alone in Summit County, Colorado.
Rocky, age 10, had gone missing in late December after escaping from a pet sitter while his owner was traveling.
According to local media, volunteers from Summit Lost Pet Rescue and members of the local community helped search for the dog for weeks, eventually locating and capturing him using a tip from a homeowner who spotted the dog on her Ring camera and a trap set with the owner’s scent.
According to Summit Daily, Rocky had gone from 50 pounds to 28 pounds during the time he was lost.
Video posted by Summit Lost Pet Rescue shows the heartwarming moment Rocky is reunited with his owner, Steven Maa.
“It takes partnership, a village, and donations to save lost pets,” the organization wrote on social media.
