The concept of a pro day is not new to the NFL draft process, but credit Colorado star Shedeur Sanders for ensuring its importance again this year. Like a lot of top NFL draft quarterback prospects, Sanders is not going through drills at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine this week and will wait to work out for scouts, GMs and coaches at Colorado’s yet-to-be-announced pro day next month in Boulder.
This inspired a round of debate among NFL analysts about whether Sanders was making the right choice ahead of the draft, which only added to the anticipation for when he does throw in front of NFL teams at pro day. Never mind that there are 49 games worth of college film featuring Sanders throwing the football facing a pass rush.
Pro day back on campus for the top prospects is part of the spectacle that is the NFL draft these days. It’s oftentimes a particularly important moment for the best quarterbacks in each class, those who didn’t test well at the NFL Scouting Combine and those who weren’t invited to the combine at all.
This year will be no different for Sanders, fellow quarterback Cam Ward and all of the players vying to be picked in the 2025 NFL draft. Here’s a breakdown of when college football programs are holding their pro day for the top prospects this year and how to watch the workouts:
