However, there is one accolade that no one can take away from him.

The Buffaloes star quarterback has joined an illustrious list of quarterbacks, including Peyton Manning, Jayden Daniels, and Matt Ryan, by earning the prestigious Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

During his acceptance speech, Shedeur expressed gratitude to the committee for recognizing his achievements.

He acknowledged the unique challenges he faces as a legacy QB, stating that he doesnt always get the respect he deserves because hes Coach Primes son: Like the true leader he is, Shedeur credited the team, particularly his offense- including O-Line and his wideouts for helping him achieve this honor.

The award is the culmination of not only his hard work but the whole offense who worked unselfishly to turn the program around.

The Buffs QB feels blessed to finally see his dreams coming to fruition.

Shedeur Sanders will finally be going to the NFL and will likely be a top-five pick in the 2025 Draft.

Getting an award like Johnny Unitas Golden Award will further boost his draft stock.
