Shedeur Sanders: Still Undrafted After Three Rounds
The 2025 NFL Draft's biggest surprise? Shedeur Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders and a highly touted quarterback prospect, remains undrafted after three rounds. While the first overall pick, Cam Ward, and other QBs were quickly selected, Sanders' absence from the first 102 picks has ignited a firestorm of debate and speculation.
A Historic Slide
Experts predicted Sanders as a potential top-five pick. His impressive college stats – a 74% completion percentage and over 4,000 passing yards in 2024 – seemed to solidify his position as a first-round talent. Yet, five quarterbacks were drafted before him, leaving many stunned. The unusual situation has prompted widespread discussion among analysts and fans alike, with some suggesting off-field factors, while others point to perceived shortcomings in his mobility and pocket presence.
Reactions and Speculation
The unexpected turn of events has generated a flurry of reactions. ESPN analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Booger McFarland expressed disbelief, while others suggested concerns about Sanders' personality and interview performance may have influenced teams' decisions. President Donald Trump even weighed in on social media, urging an immediate selection. Meanwhile, Sanders himself maintains a positive outlook, viewing the situation as "fuel to the fire." Former NFL players like Robert Griffin III offered support and perspective, emphasizing the importance of perseverance.
What's Next for Shedeur?
Rounds four through seven of the draft will determine Sanders' fate. Although he wasn’t selected in the first three rounds, many teams still need quarterbacks, and he remains high on many "best available" lists. Will a team take a chance on the high-profile, yet surprisingly undrafted, quarterback? The remaining rounds promise to deliver the answer and possibly another chapter in this already captivating draft story.
