Broncos coach Sean Payton issues warning about Shedeur Sanders after NFL Draft fall: 'Beware'

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton never needed a quarterback entering the 2025 NFL Draft, which is always a good place to be in. 

Bo Nix, the team’s first-round draft choice in 2024, showed tremendous promise as a rookie, helping lead Denver into the playoffs out of a tough AFC West division. 

But that didn’t mean Payton wasn’t evaluating the quarterbacks available in this year’s draft class, especially Shedeur Sanders, who played down the road in Boulder for the Colorado Buffaloes the past two seasons.
