Shedeur Sanders' slide in the 2025 NFL draft has turned into a full-blown controversy. Despite racking up 4,134 passing yards and finishing eighth in Heisman voting, the Colorado quarterback remains undrafted heading into the third round.

The 23-year-old was once projected as a surefire first-rounder, but Sanders’ fall has stunned all. Fans shared their opinions on social media.

The Colorado signal-caller, who played under his outspoken father at Jackson State and Colorado, was once even considered a better prospect than Cam Ward, the Miami QB who went No. 1 in the 2025 NFL draft.

Donald Trump urges NFL teams to draft Shedeur Sanders

Shedeur sliding down the draft has everyone talking, including U.S. President Donald Trump. After the Colorado quarterback went undrafted on Day 1, Trump shared a fiery endorsement on the social media platform Truth Social.

Trump criticised NFL owners while praising Deion Sanders as “a very good coach, streetwise and smart!”

Trump didn’t stop there. He called Shedeur’s bloodline “PHENOMENAL GENES” and declared the Buffaloes star is set for greatness. He urged teams to draft Shedeur “IMMEDIATELY” if they want to win.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
