6 quarterbacks who could be the Seahawks starting quarterback in 2025

Drew Allar (Penn State)

The next two players on this list represent two different ways that the Seahawks could go. With Allar, Seattle would draft a big quarterback - he is 6'5" and 240 pounds - but he has an extremely strong arm. What he isn't is mobile. That might still work in Ryan Grubb's offense, though, as Grubb's offense at the University of Washington in 2023 did not require Michael Penix, Jr. to move around much either.

The huge difference, of course, is that NFL defenses will force a quarterback to sometimes pick up yards with their legs. There is no proof Allar can do that at the next level. The positive part for him is that he will get a new offensive coordinator at Penn State in 2024 and he might be able to show his versatility in the new scheme.

Allar will be draft-eligible for the first time in 2025. Scouts are going to love his arm strength. What might keep him from being an extremely high draft pick is his comparative lack of athleticism.

Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)

On the opposite side of the spectrum, not only with athletic ability, is Sanders. There should be concerns about his NFL potential. He has an accurate arm, but he doesn't throw laser-focused darts the way Michael Penix, Jr. did last year. He might not need to be in the league, though. If he can put the ball where it is supposed to be he should be successful.

The odd issue with Sanders is that he has always been so coddled in his career as he has played his entire college career with his father, NFL legend Deion Sanders. His dad also appears set on trying to determine where he might go in the league. Even Deion should know that is ridiculous. Shedeur should feel lucky to play in the NFL at all. Once there, his father will have little input.

Shedeur's leadership skills might also be questioned because while he has been vocal on whatever college team he has been on, he also knows his father is the head coach. This means Shedeur might have a bit longer period of time to acclimate to the NFL. He still has the physical skills to be a productive quarterback, however.
