Deion Sanders Jr. drops 3-word message after Shedeur Sanders gets snubbed out of top 10 in 2025 NFL draft

The 2025 NFL draft is underway, but it hasn't gone according to plan for quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The Colorado Buffaloes signal-caller has fallen out of the top 10. The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year is yet to find a suitor, prompting a reaction from his elder stepbrother, Deion Sanders Jr.

On Thursday, Coach Prime's eldest son posted a three-word message on X after the Chicago Bears picked up Michigan tight end Colston Loveland at No. 10.

"I love it," Sanders Jr. wrote.

The New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints were favorites to draft Shedeur Sanders. But the Giants went with Penn State standout Abdul Carter at No. 3 while the Saints picked Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with the ninth selection.

Cam Ward was the first pick, with the Tennessee Titans selecting what they believe is their quarterback for the future. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded with the Cleveland Browns to pick Travis Hunter at No. 2.

Deion Sanders Jr.'s brother Shedeur Sanders doesn't get picked on Day 1

Shedeur Sanders was not picked in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. What was particularly surprising was that NFL teams didn't consider him the second-best quarterback in the draft class behind the Miami Hurricanes' Cam Ward. When the opportunity arrived for the New York Giants, a quarterback-needy team, at No. 25, they picked Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart.

Deion Sanders Jr. had previously thrown shade at NFL analyst Emmanuel Acho for considering this a possibility.

Sanders is now expected to get picked in the second round. He will be hoping to go ahead of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe on Friday.
