Shedeur Sanders responds after falling out of first round of 2025 NFL Draft: 'We all didn't expect this'

Shedeur Sanders, the most scrutinized player of the 2025 NFL Draft, went unselected in the first round on Thursday.

The Colorado quarterback didn't hear his named called with any of the 32 picks in Lambeau Field. He will now at best be the third passer taken in the draft, behind first overall pick Cam Ward out of Miami and 25th overall pick Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss.

There were some whispers Sanders' stock was falling ahead of the draft, but it was still a surprise given there had been frequent buzz he could go as early as third overall to the New York Giants, who took Dart instead after trading back into the first round.
