Shedeur Sanders is no longer the most sought-after QB phenom in the draft. Don’t get that wrong. The Colorado QB came fresh off an outstanding season at Boulder.

Cade Klubnik could have chosen any alternative other than Clemson! Look at his breakout stat at Westlake (Austin, TX). He used to get a lot of Zoom calls from the top-tier school scouts asking him to give it a shot. It was during the COVID pandemic, and he rarely moved out of the classroom to talk to coaches and stuff in the process.

In quarterback rooms across the league, the debates have already started. Scouts who saw Cam Ward light up Washington State tape two years ago remember the arm angles, the mobility, the flashes of something uncoached. Then came the transfer to Miami and the quiet retool—fewer hero plays, more structure, cleaner decisions. With Shedeur Sanders, it’s the opposite arc. Evaluators point to a brutal Colorado offensive line, 52 sacks, and yet—he never sped up, never flinched.

Will Howard went from riches to rags within a year in Columbus. The standout QB1 capped off his collegiate stint like a hero with a Natty in his hand. On an unforgettable campaign overall, Howard threw for 4,010 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while completing a school record 73 percent of his passes. A lot of premium guys under the center might do that, but not everyone got the stars aligned to bid a goodbye to his school along with a national title.

“If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault.” That was the warning from the former Miami Hurricanes quarterback, Cam Ward, for those who will think of passing on him in the NFL Draft. Already, the QB was at an advantage when it came to his competition with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. The big reason? Ward has given his heart and soul to the sport. So, it was obvious when it’s the No.1 pick, it’s Ward or no one.

UNC head coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old beau have never failed to keep the media hooked. From flexing their odd pairing in front of the world with high romantic gestures to being each other’s biggest cheerleader, the couple runs on the trends. Destiny united the couple over a random flight trip back in 2021. Hudson, the college student back then, was simply flabbergasted seeing the NFL GOAT right beside her and couldn’t help asking for an autograph.
