Did Shedeur Sanders get drafted today? Coach Prime’s son gets shocking reality check on Day 1 of 2025 NFL Draft

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a tough start to the 2025 NFL Draft. The son of former NFL defensive back Deion Sanders didn’t hear his name called in the first 32 picks, shockingly falling into the second round.

After starting the draft season as a possible first overall pick, his stock fell massively since the NFL Combine. Miami quarterback Cam Ward went the other way, rising through draft boards and becoming the first overall pick by the Tennessee Titans.

For Shedeur Sanders, the situation will be different. He will have to wait another day to find out which team he will represent in the NFL. But missing a first-round pick is a big shock for the quarterback, who will also lose money due to the rookie scale wage related to draft picks.

Shedeur Sanders reveals shock after missing on first 32 picks

The Colorado quarterback wasn’t present in Green Bay during draft day. Instead, he hosted a draft party with friends and family, but with no phone call on Thursday, he will have to wait until the draft resumes on Friday.

Shedeur Sanders had a small discourse for everyone who attended his party and revealed that he was shocked by what happened:

“We all didn’t expect this, of course, but I feel like, with God, anything is possible. Everything’s possible. I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances, we all noticing it happening, but we understand we’re on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow is the day, we’re going to be happy regardless.”

Shedeur’s teammate from Colorado, Travis Hunter, was the second overall pick of the draft after the Jacksonville Jaguars moved up to select him.

When is Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft?

The second day will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, with the Cleveland Browns on the clock at #33. They are widely expected to open the second day with Sanders’ selection, with odds opening at -400.

Cleveland has a quarterback need, and before a trade down with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Browns had discussed the possibility of drafting Sanders at #2 but eventually passed. At #33, it’s a no-brainer for the franchise.

Rounds 2 and 3 will happen on Friday. The 2025 NFL Draft concludes on Saturday, with Rounds 4 through 7 happening, starting at 12 p.m. ET.

Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.

Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick’s historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique’s favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.

If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.

Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.

Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
