That’s not cool…
As I’m penning this, we’re 7 picks away from the top of spherical 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Shedeur Sanders is STILL ready on a name from his subsequent workforce.
Sanders has gotten by far essentially the most consideration in a quarterback class that didn’t have any actual superstars prefer it has in years previous. Regardless of solely main the Buffaloes to a 13-11 report throughout his two seasons at Colorado, Sanders lately had his quantity retired by the varsity and has been one of the talked-about gamers within the draft.
Sanders was at one level anticipated to be a high 5 draft choose, with groups just like the Titans, the Las Vegas Raiders, the New York Giants, the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers all out there for a brand new quarterback.
However the son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders appeared to see his draft inventory drop after the NFL Mix, when there have been rumors that coaches noticed him as “conceited” and unprofessional throughout his interviews with groups.
One nameless assistant coach even reportedly stated that his interview with the workforce was the worst he’s ever seen:
“He’s so entitled. He takes pointless sacks. He by no means performs on time. He has horrible physique language. He blames teammates. … However the largest factor is, he’s not that good.”
It was a shock when he dropped out of the primary spherical, with groups that want a quarterback all opting to go a distinct route. However seeing him go undrafted thus far on evening two has all people questioning what on this planet is happening.
It’s an unprecedented slide for anyone who was predicted to be a high 5 choose, and at this level you’ll be able to’t assist however really feel for Sanders who’s little doubt rethinking all the pieces that occurred throughout the NFL Mix.
However as he sits and waits for the decision from a workforce, anyone apparently obtained ahold of his telephone quantity and determined to drag a merciless prank on the long run NFL QB.
Video exhibits the second somebody known as Sanders pretending to be an NFL workforce exec, asking Sanders how he was doing:
“Good, been ready on you.”
And the prankster replied again:
“Gonna have to attend a bit longer.”
Sanders was clearly confused by the decision, questioning how anyone obtained his quantity.
However at this level, the quarterback remains to be ready and going through the very actual prospect of dropping into (no less than) the fourth spherical.
Earlier this night, Sanders even obtained a powerful endorsement from President Donald Trump, who known as NFL homeowners “silly” for passing on the Colorado QB:
“What’s unsuitable with NFL homeowners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was an excellent faculty soccer participant, and was even higher within the NFL. He’s additionally an excellent coach, streetwise and good! Subsequently, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He needs to be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a workforce that desires to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say howdy to your fantastic father!”
In fact it’s humorous to see Trump pushing for Sanders to get drafted after so many (together with former Congressman Jamaal Bowman) have gone as far as to name the NFL “racist” for not taking Shedeur in spherical one (even if the primary choose within the draft was a black quarterback).
However plainly even Trump’s endorsement wasn’t sufficient to persuade NFL groups to take an opportunity on Sanders. (A sort out from William & Mary simply obtained taken forward of the QB…robust occasions within the Sanders warfare room).
