University of Colorado stars put themselves on Steelers NFL draft radar

If you are an NFL fan, you likely enjoy college football as well. We keep a close eye on all things college football in reference to the NFL draft and the Pittsburgh Steelers. We haven’t even gotten through the first full weekend of the college football season and we are already compiling quite a list of guys to watch who could be Steelers targets in the 2025 NFL draft.

First up for us are Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. These are the guys that make the University of Colorado offense go and they proved it this week against FSC powerhouse North Dakota State University.

Hunter has all the makings of the next great two-way athlete in the NFL. I want to see more of him this year before I make any decisions about which side of the football he will be best at in the NFL but given the Steelers needs, if they had a chance to draft arguably the best cornerback and second-best wide receiver in the draft in the same player, you don’t pass that up.

Sanders is one of the most polarizing players in college football thanks to his high-profile dad, extravagant lifestyle and up and down play. But make no mistake, when it comes to traits at quarterback, Sanders has a ton of physical tools and shows a high football IQ. The Steelers currently have no quarterbacks under contract for the 2025 season and that alone makes quarterback a first-round need.
