The 2025 NFL draft is underway, but it hasn't gone well as per what Deion Sanders & family would have been hoping, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders has fallen out of the top 10 picks. The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year is yet to find a suitor in the ongoing draft, prompting a reaction from his elder stepbrother, Deion Sanders Jr.

On Thursday, Coach Prime's eldest son, Sanders Jr., posted a three-word message on X after the Chicago Bears picked up Michigan tight end Colston Loveland at No. 10.

"I love it," Sanders Jr. wrote.

The New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints were expected to draft Shedeur Sanders. But instead, the Giants went with Penn State standout Abdul Carter at No. 3 while the Saints picked Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with their ninth overall selection.

Cam Ward became the draft's first pick as the Tennessee Titans selected their future quarterback. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded with the Cleveland Browns to pick Travis Hunter at No. 2.

Deion Sanders Jr.'s brother Shedeur Sanders doesn't get picked on Day 1

This comes as a surprise, but yes, Shedeur Sanders remains unpicked in the 2025 NFL draft after completion of the first round.

What stung more to Colorado fans was the fact that NFL teams didn't consider him as the second best quarterback in the draft class behind Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward. Instead, when the opportunity arrived for the New York Giants, a quarterback needy team, at No. 25, they picked Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart.

The other day, Deion Sanders Jr. was throwing shade at NFL analyst Emmanuel Acho for considering this exact same notion. However, it seems what Acho even remotely thought of, actually turned into a reality as his question of whether Dart is the QB2 of this class gets answered in affirmation.

This should fuel Sanders, who is expected to get picked in the second round. However, it will be another big stung if Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe also gets drafted ahead of him on Friday.

There's lot to unravel as we wind up Day 1 and get back to update the story on Day 2.
