After two days, three rounds and 102 selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders is still waiting to hear his name called. The highly hyped Colorado quarterback, who stunningly fell out of the first round on Thursday night, was not among the 70 players selected in the second and third rounds on Friday. Three more quarterbacks were taken on Friday after two were called in the first round at the draft held in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
However, none of them was the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame member Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s head coach at Colorado. United States President Donald Trump took issue with NFL owners and called them “stupid” for not selecting Sanders – and that was before the quarterback was overlooked again on Friday. In a post on Friday on the Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL.
He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! “Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be ‘picked’ IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”.
