Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will forever be linked because of the success they had together in college, but it appears the two former Colorado stars have separate plans for the NFL Draft.
The NFL shared a list on Monday of the 17 NFL prospects who will be in attendance for the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisc., on April 24. Hunter is listed among those who are planning to be there, but Sanders is not on the list.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said back in January that he, his son Shedeur and Hunter were all planning to be together in Boulder during the NFL Draft. Deion said the group wanted to "celebrate with our people, with our folks, with our wonderful student body."
Though the list of NFL Draft attendees could change, it does not sound like Hunter will be at the draft party in Colorado if there is one.
Sanders was once viewed as the top quarterback in the 2025 draft class, but Cam Ward is widely expected to be taken by the Tennessee Titans with the first overall pick. There have been a number of reports claiming NFL talent evaluators are not as high on Sanders now as they were months ago.
If there is any chance at all of Sanders falling way down the board or out of the first round entirely, the last place he will want to be is Green Bay. It would be a shock if Hunter fell beyond the first five picks, so it is a lot safer for him to attend the NFL Draft in person.
