Episode Details

As of Friday, April 25, 2025, at 1:27 AM EDT, Shedeur Sanders has not been selected in the NFL Draft.  

This is surprising to many, as he was widely considered a potential first-round pick leading up to the draft. After the first three rounds (102 picks), and with five other quarterbacks already selected (Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe, and Dillon Gabriel), Sanders' name has yet to be called.  

Here's a breakdown of the situation:

• Fell out of the first round: Predictions leading up to the draft suggested his stock might be falling, but many still anticipated him being a Day 1 selection.
• Passed over in Rounds 2 and 3: Several teams with potential quarterback needs in the second and third rounds also opted for other players.
• Remains a top available prospect: Despite not being drafted yet, some analysts still consider Sanders one of the best players remaining on the board heading into Day 3 (Rounds 4-7).
• Pre-draft process concerns: Some reports indicated that Sanders' limited participation in pre-draft events (no East-West Shrine Bowl, no NFL Combine workout, only one press conference) might have concerned NFL evaluators.   
• Anonymous criticism: There have been reports of negative feedback from anonymous NFL sources regarding his interviews and demeanor.
• Statistical Performance: In his college career, including his time at Jackson State and Colorado, Sanders has impressive statistics:
  • Completed 70.1% of his passes for 14,353 yards and 134 touchdowns with 27 interceptions across 50 games.   
  • In his senior year at Colorado (2024), he completed 74.0% of his passes for 4,134 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.   
  • He set numerous records at Colorado and earned accolades like the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2024.   
• Potential reasons for the slide:
  • Evaluation: Some analysts believe his on-field talent might be good but not elite compared to other hyped quarterback prospects. Comparisons to players like Teddy Bridgewater (late first round) and Geno Smith (second round) have been made.   
  • Size and athleticism: At 6'1 1/2" and 212 pounds, he might be considered slightly undersized by some NFL teams. His athleticism is viewed as good but not exceptional.
  • Sack rate and time to throw: His pressure-to-sack rate and average time to throw were areas of concern for some evaluators.
  • Off-field concerns: Maturity and off-field perceptions, though difficult to quantify, have also been mentioned as potential factors.
