Deion Sanders breaks silence on son Shedeur's NFL Draft day slide image

When will Shedeur Sanders be drafted?

During the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 32 picks were announced, none of which were Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

As expected, Miami signal caller Cam Ward went first overall to the Tennessee Titans, while the only other quarterback to go on Thursday night was perhaps the most shocking selection when the New York Giants traded back into the first round to select Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart with the 25th pick.

NFL Hall of Famer and Shedeur's father, Deion, posted on Twitter/X, saying Thursday was a lesson for his son and God will guide Shedeur to wherever he was meant to be.

My bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise & he chose the weak things of the world that he may put to shame the strong! Please know God ain't done & God is just really getting started. Enjoy this lesson & stop stressing. #CoachPrime

Shedeur spoke at his draft party following the opening round, admitting he didn't expect to fall out of the first round, but says he'll be happy wherever he ends up.

This message from Shedeur Sanders after going undrafted in the 1st round is exactly why he has the resolve, poise and maturity to lead an NFL Franchise. He didn’t hide. He stood tall in the face of adversity and disappointment. This adds to his testimony.

When it comes to where Shedeur may be playing football in 2025 and beyond, it's worth noting that the Cleveland Browns hold picks 33 and 36 in round two, while the Las Vegas Raiders have the 37th selection on Friday night. Both the Browns and Raiders were heavily linked with Shedeur during the pre-draft process.

Rounds two and three of the 2025 NFL Draft kick off on Friday at 7:00 p.m. EST.
