Importance Score: 35 / 100 🔵


Shedeur Sanders, the highly touted NFL prospect, was widely anticipated to be a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft held on April 24. As fans and the Sanders family awaited the quarterback’s fate, questions swirled regarding his first-round prospects. Sanders himself acknowledged the uncertainty on draft day, tweeting, “I’m built for whatever today may bring.” So, what ultimately transpired for Sanders in the draft?

Below are the latest updates concerning Sanders and his standing in the 2025 NFL draft.

Shedeur Sanders: An Overview

Sanders, a celebrated 23-year-old football player, entered the scene as a highly regarded four-star recruit. After two seasons with the Jackson State Tigers, the Texas native earned the 2021 Jerry Rice Award—an honor bestowed upon the most outstanding freshman football player in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision. Subsequently, he joined the Colorado Buffaloes. In 2022, Sanders was honored with the Deacon Jones Trophy, presented to the nation’s top all-around collegiate American football player from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Following his successful tenure with the Buffaloes, Colorado announced in 2025 that Sanders’ jersey number would be retired.

Boasting a substantial social media presence with over 2 million Instagram followers, Sanders has cultivated a significant following.

Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s father, serves as the head coach at Colorado, after holding the same position for the Jackson State Tigers.

Shedeur Sanders’ Draft Status

To the surprise of many fans, Sanders was not selected during the first round of the NFL Draft. According to Fox News, Sanders admitted the day after the first round that he and his family “didn’t expect” this outcome.

“We all didn’t expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible,” he stated on April 25. “I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things.”

Reasons Behind Sanders’ Undrafted Status

The question on the minds of fans and the Sanders family is: why wasn’t the quarterback chosen in the first round? While Deion previously expressed confidence in his son’s selection, some football coaches and sports commentators have voiced criticism concerning Sanders’ perceived attitude and conduct.

Possible Contributing Factors:

  • Perceived attitude and behavior
  • Unexpected draft outcomes
  • Comments from coaches and commentators
