The football world is stunned that Shedsur Sanders remains on 2025 NFL Draft Board, but the Colorado Buffaloes Quarterback view continues to keep a positive mindset on social media.
Sanders was hopeful that he would be taken on day 2, but after round 3 and 4 came and went, he still did not know which NFL team he will begin his career with.
Meanwhile, three other quarterbacks were elected Friday night in Green Bay after Cam Ward went first to the Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants acted back to the first round to grab Jaxson Dart 25.

Tyler Shough (New Orleans Saints), Jalen Milroe (Seattle Seahawks) and Dillon Gabriel (Cleveland Browns) were all taken for Sanders, and “stunned” were an understatement to describe how both analysts and fans felt.
But after the last election was made on Friday, Sanders pointed to his faith with his reaction and said, “Thank you God for everything.” He had a similar message on Saturday morning at X.
“Another day another opportunity to get a chance to play the game I love. Thanks good #legendary,” twited Sanders.

There have been 102 prospects taken by the board, and with Round 4, beginning at noon in Green Bay, everyone is wondering which NFL team will finally pull the trigger at Sanders.
Why does this happen to Sanders? It is the question of everyone’s mind with opinions flying in on all sides. Some feel that his father, NFL Great and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, are to blame for the shoulder. Others believe that the reports during the draft of the process that stated that Sanders had had bad meetings with teams.

But it is very unusual for someone like Sanders, a Heisman Trophy finalist last year, to fall so far considering what has been on tape for the past four years. He has shown accuracy at the elite level, a solid arm in his pocket and outside, and the tools to be a good quarterback in the NFL.
“It has to be more than football,” Espns Booger McFarland said under the NFL draft on the network. “He is the best pure passerby you can draft. When you start to see development projects like Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel – and nothing against these guys, but they are not almost the player who Sanders Sanders is. When they go ahead of him, the only thing you can say is more than football.”
McFarland’s colleague, Mel Kiper Jr., adds: “I think it’s disgusting. I don’t understand what the heck is going on with this … Someone will have to explain that one to me.”
Sanders has been surrounded by friends and family in Texas awaiting the call that has not yet come. In fact, Sanders had to deal with a prank call caught on his Twitch Live stream. He has since completed the live broadcast.
But through this surprising free fall, Sanders has kept a positive mindset, at least in public.
