"Today ain't bringing anything for you": NFL fans have their say after Shedeur Sanders delivers confident words hours before draft
Shedeur Sanders - as hundreds of other prospects - will know their fate tonight as the 2025 NFL draft starts. The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has been mentioned in multiple rumors leading to this moment, with some saying he's a lock for the top three and others predicting that he'll be a late first-round or even second-round selection.
Sanders took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to send a clear message about his NFL future. The QB showed confidence that his talents would help him navigate whatever life threw at him with a seven-word message.
"I’m built for whatever today may bring," Sanders tweeted.
Many fans reacted to Shedeur Sanders's words and flooded social media with comments. Some tried to troll Sanders by saying he would be drafted tomorrow or later tonight while taking a jab at the Cleveland Browns.
"today ain't bringing anything for you 😭," one fan said.
"Are you built to not be drafted today?" another fan said.
Others were more positive and even defended Sanders against the critics while offering words of support.
"If you get drafted later in the day - Dont take it as problem but as opportunity. You can win superbowl year 1 with Steelers. Not with Titans/Giants/Browns," one fan said.
"The hate this man is getting is ridiculous. He is by far QB 1," another fan said.
"Good luck today. Enjoy the moment. The Lord will take care of you my guy!" another fan said.
Chad Johnson sends strong message on negative narrative surrounding Shedeur Sanders
Ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, Chad Johnson shared his opinion on all the things being said about Shedeur Sanders. The retired wide receiver reacted to the anonymous coaches and general managers's criticism of the young quarterback's character, saying there was a hidden agenda behind all the remarks.
During Wednesday's episode of "Nightcap," Johnson said:
"When it comes to Shedeur, it's a personal vendetta, not only against him, but those who don't like his father as well," Ocho said. "And it's carrying over when the two should be separated. In general, don't allow your hate for Prime or whatever this thing you might have for him to affect what Shedeur is going to do for a team at the next level. Listen. You turn on the film. It speaks for itself. " (2:14)
Shedeur Sanders's draft stock has reportedly dropped, but we won't know anything until the big event begins.
