Does Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders want to play for the Las Vegas Raiders?

Well, Sanders appeared to indicate as such in an Instagram post Friday, where he was in a car passing by Allegiant Stadium — home of the Raiders — and captioned the video “Legendary.”

The Raiders are tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants for the worst record in the NFL at 2-10 and figure to select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft given that they’ve shuffled Gardner Minshew — who’s now out for the season with a broken collarbone — and Aidan O’Connell under center this season.

As for the senior quarterback, Sanders figures to be the first quarterback off the board and potentially the No. 1 pick in the draft. Sanders has totaled 3,926 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 168.8 passer rating this season, while completing 74.2% of his passes. His passing yards and touchdowns, passer rating and completion percentage are all first in the Big 12.

This season, Sanders and the Buffaloes are ranked No. 23 with a 9-3 record in what’s their first season back in the Big 12. Last season, Colorado posted a 4-8 record.
