Pac-12 QB rankings No. 4: Shedeur Sanders
- Passing yards: 2,882
- TD: 24 INT: 3
- Comp: 70.1%
- YPA: 7.5
Shedeur Sanders has been very impressive making the jump from FCS to Power-5, especially with a big spotlight and target on his back. The Buffaloes have fallen off since the start of the season, but his play hasn’t.
In a loss to Oregon State in Week 10, Sanders threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. He is throwing at an incredibly high rate and has the second-most pressured dropbacks in all of FBS. His offensive line has been a disaster.
Despite that, Sanders averages 6.3 yards per attempt against pressure with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s an effective playmaker outside the pocket and always keeps his eyes downfield.
