Shedeur Sanders' bold response to falling in NFL draft
Shedeur Sanders made it clear, that falling to No. 9 in the 2025 NFL draft is not something he's entertaining. At the NFL Honors red carpet, Saints DE Cameron Jordan playfully suggested that he could slip in the draft.
Deion Sanders immediately dismissed the idea, saying:
“I don’t know about that.”
Shedeur doubled down, responding:
“Yeah, I don’t think so.”
He further shared on embracing the NFL life and enjoying it.
"Just to challenge the excitement, we established at Jackson State. We did that Colorado, so that now you know it's time to do it in the lead," he said.
Coach Prime's son isn’t fixated on being the No. 1 pick, though. Earlier, he spoke about the draft process and his bond with fellow QB prospect Cam Ward. He emphasized fit over the draft position.
“I could go No. 1, but it may not be a fit. Right, or I could go No. 2 and it be a fit. I could go No. 3 and it be a fit, you know. So it's all about fit,” Sanders said. “We’re all cool… we’ll be able to sit there and talk.”
With the draft approaching, Shedeur’s confidence remains high. Whether he’s picked first overall or not, he’s determined to maximize every moment in the NFL with whichever team drafts him.
