Shedeur Sanders: A Shocking First Round Snub?
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft concluded in Green Bay with several surprising twists, leaving many wondering about the fate of one highly touted prospect: Shedeur Sanders. While Cam Ward went first overall to the Titans and Travis Hunter was a surprise second pick for the Jaguars, the son of Deion Sanders surprisingly remained undrafted after the first round, defying pre-draft predictions.
The Fall of Shedeur Sanders
Despite a stellar college career at Colorado, including 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdowns, Shedeur Sanders didn't hear his name called on Thursday night. This unexpected turn of events sent shockwaves through the football world. While some experts pointed to concerns about his arm strength and athleticism, many believe his slide to Day 2 was a significant upset. He even failed to surpass his father's draft position (5th overall in 1989), a promise he'd made before the draft.
Potential Landing Spots on Day 2
With Sanders available, several teams needing quarterback depth will likely be vying for his services in rounds 2 and 3. The Cleveland Browns (picks 33 and 36), the Las Vegas Raiders (pick 37), the New Orleans Saints (pick 40), and even the Indianapolis Colts (pick 45) could all be potential suitors. Each team faces different quarterback situations, creating a range of possibilities for Sanders' future.
Will Sanders Rise to the Occasion?
The second round promises to be exciting, especially with Shedeur Sanders' future still uncertain. While his first-round omission was a surprise, his talent remains undeniable. His performance at Colorado's Pro Day, along with his impressive college statistics, suggest he has the potential to become a successful NFL quarterback. Friday night will determine if a team takes a chance on this intriguing, yet controversial, prospect.

- Cam Ward (QB, Miami): #1 overall pick, Tennessee Titans
- Travis Hunter (WR/CB, Colorado): #2 overall pick, Jacksonville Jaguars
