Shedeur Sanders to Saints gets eye-opening update from insider after Colorado Pro Day

Colorado’s Pro Day brought out scouts and coaches from around the NFL to watch the Buffs, including two big names, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, in their glory.

While some notable figures, like Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, were in attendance, a notable absence raised eyebrows, that of Saints offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

A journalist from New Orleans, Nick Underhill, took to X to share the surprising update.

“No Kellen Moore at Colorado today. He was at some of the other pro days watching the QBs, but not this one,” commented Underhill in response to NFL insider Jori Epstein.

Epstein had reported earlier that the Saints were sending two coaches, including QB coach Scott Tolzien and WR coach Keith Williams, to Boulder for a firsthand look at Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter.

“Some teams just sent a scout or scouts to Colorado pro day. But the Saints have 2 coaches scheduled to be there today, per source. QB coach Scott Tolzien and WR coach Keith Williams scheduled to get live looks at QB Shedeur Sanders & WR/DB Travis Hunter,” read the original post.

While it was reported that 160 media members and 71 NFL personnel were credentialed for Colorado’s pro day on April 4, New Orleans had a limited presence at the workout. Moore’s absence could suggest the team isn’t putting Sanders at the top of their draft board, at least not yet.

How well did Shedeur Sanders fare on Colorado’s Pro Day?

Shedeur Sanders has faced immense controversy in the run-up to the pro day. However, the 23-year-old finally had his moment under the NFL microscope. The football prodigy put on a sharp performance in Boulder that reiterated why he’s been a hot topic heading into the 2025 NFL draft.

Sanders looked crisp on most throws, particularly his deep passes, which drew high praise from NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, who called them “as good as anybody’s.” His signature touch throws down the sideline were also on display, truly showing the natural feel he has for the position.

Overall, the Buffs quarterback completed 58 of 63 throws, with three drops. His strong numbers echoed his reputation for accuracy. After the performance, Sanders talked to the media, claiming that he likes to be a perfectionist and that he wasn’t fully satisfied.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
