Sanders did not attend the draft in Green Bay, opting to watch it from his home in Texas alongside his father Deion Sanders and brother Deion Sanders Jr. Shortly after the conclusion of the first round, Coach Prime posted a video on Instagram, sharing his son's stance on not being a top-32 selection.
"We all didn't expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don't feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow's the day. We going to be happy regardless."
Shedeur Sanders now looms as one of the top picks for the 2025 NFL Draft's second round on Friday.
