Shedeur Sanders did not hear his name get called on Day 1 of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday. However, the Colorado quarterback did not let that entirely dampen his spirits. Following Round 1's conclusion, a video of Sanders rapping at a party went viral on social media.
The QB had reportedly planned a get-together with close friends and family to celebrate potentially being taken as a top-32 pick. Although things didn't go as planned, Sanders sang a few songs and performed on stage for those at the gathering.
Fans on social media had mixed reactions to Sanders' celebration since he went undrafted on Day 1. A few appeared to throw shade at the QB.

"This s*** so corny bruh," one fan tweeted.
