Did Shedeur Sanders get drafted on Day 2 of 2025 NFL Draft? Exploring Colorado QB's position amid tanking stock
Shedeur Sanders' draft has not been going according to plan. After his 2024 campaign with the Colorado Buffaloes, the quarterback was projected as a top-three prospect in this year's draft, as he was considered the second-best quarterback behind Miami's Cam Ward.
Unfortunately, Coach Prime's son did not hear his name called out on Day 1 while Ward was drafted by the Titans with the first overall pick. The only other quarterback to go in the first round was Jaxson Dart (Giants at No.25).
Shedeur Sanders' woes continued on Day 2 as he once again went undrafted. Coach Prime's son was once again overlooked during the second and third rounds of the draft. A few other quarterbacks, who were projected behind Shedeur initially, were picked before the Colorado star. This included Tyler Shough (Saints at No.40), Jalen Milroe (Seahawks at No.92), and Dillon Gabriel (Browns at No.94).
The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the teams that had a big requirement in the quarterback department. However, they decided to pass up on Shedeur Sanders to get DT Derrick Harmond in Round 1 and running back Kaleb Johnson in Round 3.
This has left an air of uncertainty regarding Shedeur's NFL landing spot. He took to social media with a single message for God after being passed up on Day 2.
"Thank you GOD for EVERYTHING," Shedeur wrote.
The quarterback recorded 4,134 yards and 37 TDs passing last season while helping the Buffs to a 9-4 campaign. He was honored as the winner of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. Shedeur's brother, safety Shilo, remains undrafted at the end of Day 2.
Skip Bayless calls out the NFL for Shedeur Sanders going undrafted on Day 2
Skip Bayless has spoken many times in support of Shedeur and his dad, Deion Sanders. He had expected him to go in the first round of the draft. Thus, it has been a shocking event for him to witness Shedeur Sanders remain undrafted after Day 2.
Bayless shared a post on X/Twitter talking about the quarterback's situation. He called out the league by calling Shedeur's snub 'disgusting'.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SHEDEUR SANDERS IS THE MOST STUNNING AND DISGUSTING DEVELOPMENT IN NFL DRAFT HISTORY. HE SHOULD'VE GONE 1st OVERALL. MEL KIPER RANKED HIM 5th, ABOVE CAM WARD AT 6th," Bayless wrote.
The final four rounds of the 2025 NFL draft begin on Saturday at noon. It will be interesting to see which team decides to acquire Coach Prime's son on Day 3.
