Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was not a first-round NFL draft pick, and he said the quiet parts out loud so everyone else wouldn't have to.
On Thursday, when the 2025 NFL Draft kicked off at Lambeau Field, Miami quarterback Cam Ward was the first pick and QB off the board. What happened after that was anyone's guess, but many pundits anticipated that Sanders would be the next quarterback following Ward. Instead, it was Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, and eventually, the first round came and went without Sanders being selected.
