There is no lack of confidence coming from the Sanders family out of Boulder, CO. Coach Prime and his two sons have no shortage of belief in themselves and their squad as they head into the Big 12 for what will be Shadeur's final season before heading to the NFL Draft.
Furthermore, the media is certainly following them leading the confidence in them. Skip Bayless took to his show to make an outlandish claim about Shadeur, saying he's better right now than Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott.
“I’ll go on record to say that Shedeur is right now better than Dak Prescott,” Bayless said on his show. “As we speak, as he stands, wherever he is in Boulder, Colorado, he’s better than Dak Prescott.”
Prescott was the runner-up in AP NFL MVP voting. He led his team with 36 touchdown passes after the best season of his career.
On the other hand, Shadeur led his Colorado team to a 4-8 record in his first season in Boulder. Putting someone like Prescott in his shoes in their current state would have the Buffaloes seeing a much-improved record.
Shadeur threw for 3,230 yards, 27 passing touchdowns and three interceptions on 69 percent passing in 11 games played. His team started the season 4-2 and was one of the most popular teams in college football.
Moving forward, the Sanders only have more to prove as Colorado makes it's transition from the Pac-12 to the Big 12, giving them an opportunity to face new competition and compete for a better record.
