Hopes for success in the NFL and experienced quarterback Shedeur Sanders hoped to be selected during the NFL draft this year, but so far luck has not been on his side. Why wasn’t he chosen right away?
As the NFL draft nears completion, find out Sanders' chances of being selected.
Sanders is a 23-year-old football player who previously played for the Jackson State Tigers and then for the Colorado Buffaloes. Hailing from Texas, he was awarded the 2021 Jerry Rice Award, given to the most outstanding freshman in football in the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision, and the 2022 Deacon Jones Award, recognizing the best all-around college football player among historically black colleges and universities.
Sanders is also the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, who previously coached the Jackson State Tigers.
After a successful season with the Buffaloes, the team announced in 2025 that they would retire Sanders' jersey number.
Despite high expectations for Sanders, his name was not called in the first four rounds. Despite NBC Sports reporting that he was a favorite to be the first pick in the second round of the draft, Sanders did not happen. However, Sanders emphasized that he remains hopeful, writing on Twitter: «Another day, another opportunity to get a chance to play the game I love. Thank you GOD #LEGENDARY».
However, Sanders was finally selected by the Browns in the fifth round on April 26.
Sanders' fans are asking why he wasn’t chosen. According to a statement from Sanders obtained by Fox News, the athlete said that he and his family «didn't expect this, of course, but I feel that with God all things are possible, all things are possible».
«I don’t think this happened just like that», - Sanders continued. «All of this, of course, fuels the fire. We didn’t know this would happen, but we understand that bigger and better things are waiting for us».
According to many sources, some football coaches and sports analysts attribute Sanders' failure to his behavior and attitude behind the scenes
