Love him or strongly dislike him, there is little debate that college football QB Shedeur Sanders has got the kind of moves that will take him to the next level.
The son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders put those skills on display during the Buffaloes Big 12 showdown with the Baylor Bears on Saturday night, September 21.
With a couple of minutes to play in the first half and trailing by 14 points, Sanders took a 2nd-and-11 snap just ahead of his own 20-yard line. He stepped up in a pocket that almost immediately began collapsing around him.
The quarterback, fleet of foot, backpedalled and escaped a Baylor defender who got a hand on him before rolling to his right. Another Bears defender sprinted into the backfield and got a couple of hands on Sanders in what looked sure to be a tackle for loss.
But Sanders escaped again, then took off diagonally across the field and ended up gaining approximately 15 yards as well as a first down to extend the drive.
