Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was once considered as a possibility to be chosen No. 1 overall when the draft kicks off on Thursday night at Lambeau Field in Green Bay .

The 23-year-old passed for 4,134 yards with 37 TDs and led the nation with a 74% completion rate last season .

The New York Giants , picking third overall, conducted a private workout with Shedeur on Colorado ’s campus last week .

The New Orleans Saints , picking ninth overall, might be a possibility.

Shedeur won’t be in Green Bay to bear hug NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after the pick comes in.

Deion: "We've already won. Who else will be drafted from an HBCU this year ? Or was drafted last year ? The year before that? Since 1995 ? Since Steve McNair ( third overall, 1995 )? "We won, already. And when they talk about him, they’ve got to mention [ Colorado ] and Colorado ," he says.
