However, it was not the night many members of the team expected. Although it was a great night for Hunter, he was not expected to be the only Colorado Buffaloes player to be selected on day one of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>QB Shedeur Sanders had been in the top five in several mock drafts over the past few months. However, as draft day progressed, it became clear that he was not going to be selected in the first round. Heading into day two, he is the biggest name still on the board. However, he is not the only Colorado player who could go on day two.<\/p>\n<p>With rounds two and three set to take place on Friday, it will be interesting to see what risks different NFL teams take. Teams are typically much more willing to take risks and reach for players they like outside of the first round. So, these are three players to watch out for on day two of the 2025 NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<h2>3 Colorado players to watch out for on day two of the 2025 NFL draft<\/h2>\n<h3>#1, Shedeur Sanders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/shedeur-sanders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Shedeur Sanders<\/a> is the biggest name left on the NFL draft board, not just from Colorado, but in the draft in general. He was previously projected to be a top-five pick, but instead fell out of the first round entirely. Sanders was viewed as a top two QB in his class behind Cam Ward, but even Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart was drafted ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see which team takes a risk on him in the second round. The Cleveland Browns are a possible option as they hold two of the first four picks in the second round.<\/p>\n<h3>#2, LaJohntay Wester<\/h3>\n<p>Wide receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/lajohntay-wester\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">LaJohntay Wester<\/a> has received draft attention for his strong season at Colorado this past year. He attended the NFL Combine and put up solid numbers, including a 4.46-second 40-yard dash. Although he is projected to go in the later rounds, it would be interesting if the team that drafts Sanders tries to pair him with a familiar receiver.<\/p>\n<h3>#3, Shilo Sanders<\/h3>\n<p>Safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/shilo-sanders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Shilo Sanders<\/a> is viewed as a more likely day-three pick. However, with his brother likely getting picked on day two, it would not be shocking to see that team try to make Shedeur&#8217;s NFL transition easier by drafting his brother too. Shilo is a capable player in his own right, performing well this past season when healthy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/3788579-1722524998-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Alexander O&#8217;Reilly&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nAlexander O&#8217;Reilly is a journalist at Sportskeeda from Kingston, Ontario with over seven years in the field at companies including SenShot, RVBlogger, Monarch Media, WordAgents, GSeC LLC, and IGC. <\/p>\n<p>His favorite college team is Duke, and his favorite sporting memory was Duke winning March Madness in 2010. JJ Redick was Alex&#8217;s favorite college player when he was young but more recently, Caleb Williams gets the nod. As the Chicago Bears are Alex&#8217;s favorite NFL team, this was a perfect match. <\/p>\n<p>Alex&#8217;s proudest moment came when he was interviewed by a radio station in Ottawa on his opinion on recent moves by the Ottawa Senators, which\u00a0gave him a confidence boost and the knowledge that he could succeed as a writer.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from sports, Alex likes to spend his time playing games. He is also very passionate about running and strives to improve at the half and full marathon distances.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/alexander-o-reilly\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by John Maxwell<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/3-colorado-players-watch-day-2-2025-nfl-draft-ft-shedeur-sanders\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Colorado Buffaloes had a big day on night one of the 2025 NFL draft with two-way star Travis Hunter going second to the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":274910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274909"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
