Julian Lewis’ potential was never in doubt, but a recent clip from Colorado’s spring practice sent his hype to another level. The footage shows him launching a deep ball with pinpoint accuracy, leaving fans buzzing about what’s to come.
Social media was quick to react. Some fans believe he could reach Shedeur Sanders’ level within three years. Others praised his natural passing ability, already envisioning him lighting up defenses in the Big 12.

Of course, not everyone is fully convinced yet. Some pointed out that Lewis’ frame-6’0.5″ and 185 pounds-is smaller than Sanders, who took a beating behind Colorado’s inconsistent offensive line last season. Without a pass rush in practice, skeptics say, it’s hard to know how he’ll handle real pressure.

Coach Deion Sanders, never shy about praising his players, is already showing confidence in his young QB.
“JuJu’s got something special,” Sanders said in a recent interview. “He’s got that mindset, that drive. He’s young, but he’s ready to work.”
While Lewis is undoubtedly a name to watch, it’s still too early to hand him the starting job. He’ll need to prove himself in full-contact drills and fall camp before Colorado fans can start making real comparisons to Sanders.
But one thing’s clear-Julian Lewis is already making waves in Boulder, and the hype isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
