In one of the most stunning stories in NFL draft history, Shedeur Sanders did not hear his name called in the first three rounds. Sanders – the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders – who starred at Colorado for the last two years, was widely expected to be picked early on, where several quarterback-needy teams were waiting. Instead, Sanders slid. And continued to slide, eventually all the way out of the first three rounds, leaving experts shocked, who had largely expected him to be one of the first quarterbacks off the board. Despite not getting picked in the first two days of the three-day event, Sanders remained positive, saying “Thank you GOD for EVERYTHING,” in a post on X Friday night. There were signs in the lead-up to the first round that maybe Sanders would fall in the draft. On Thursday, the first couple times that ESPN cut to Canton, Texas, where Sanders was watching the draft, the set – covered in the player’s own logo – was empty. Eventually, cameras found Sanders watching the draft but he wasn’t exactly looking confident.
