Shedeur Sanders’ Wild NFL Draft Drop Leaves Football Fans Fuming

Shedeur Sanders, one of the hottest quarterback prospects and a Heisman finalist last season at Colorado, is still sitting on the sidelines as the NFL Draft heads into its final day. After more than 100 names have been called, Sanders’ name is still echoing in living rooms—just not in the way he or his fans hoped.

The surprise turned to total disbelief last night as three more quarterbacks—Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe, and Dillon Gabriel—were all picked ahead of Sanders. The shockwaves rippled through the football world, with prominent analysts and even former President Donald Trump weighing in. Honestly, when memes and presidential posts collide, you know things have officially gone off-script.

Booger McFarland didn’t mince words on TV, insisting Sanders’ slide was about more than just football. "He’s the best pure passer you can draft," McFarland declared, questioning why teams would gamble on "developmental projects" over someone with Sanders’ on-field résumé. And Mel Kiper Jr., a guy who’s made a living ranking draft picks, straight-up called the whole thing "disgusting." That’s not exactly subtle, Mel.

Meanwhile, Joel Klatt, who’s watched Sanders up close, blamed the draft’s "trash" narratives and anonymous sources for the quarterback’s tumble. Klatt says Sanders’ game speaks for itself, but apparently, some teams didn’t vibe with his personality during interviews. Who knew a job interview could be as high-stakes as a fourth-quarter drive?

Even Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s dad and the legendary coach at Colorado, couldn’t escape the drama. Trump chimed in on social media (of course), boasting about Sanders’ "phenomenal genes" and calling out NFL owners. If Trump’s making quarterback evaluations, we’ve definitely entered the Twilight Zone of the draft.

Back in Colorado, Sanders spent draft night surrounded by family and friends, keeping things classy by posting, "Thank you GOD for EVERYTHING" on X (formerly Twitter). His confidence hasn’t wavered, even as teams like the Steelers and Raiders circle, still looking for that missing piece at quarterback.

With just one day left and plenty of teams still hungry for QB talent, all eyes are on whether Sanders will finally hear his name called. For now, the football world is left scratching its head—and maybe refreshing their feeds a little more than usual.
