With two days of the 2025 NFL Draft in the books, 102 young men have officially become NFL players.
However, instead of celebrating them, a lot of the narrative has centered around another NFL hopeful who’s still waiting for his turn.
Surprisingly, Shedeur Sanders slipped past the first three rounds in what might be one of the most shocking turns of events in NFL Draft history.
Once penciled in as a potential No. 1 pick, Sanders was either No. 2 or No. 3 in most mock drafts for the bulk of the pre-draft process.
Notably, that’s why ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. didn’t mince his words when talking about this situation and described the situation as ‘disgusting.’
“I really have nothing to say. I think it’s disgusting. That’s all I can say,” Kiper said.
Kiper Jr. had Sanders as the fifth-best player in this class.
He spent the first two days of the NFL Draft constantly circling back on Sanders.
Fans criticized him on social media for his repeated rants, not because he was wrong or didn’t have a valid point, but because they felt he was taking the moment away from the players who had been selected.
Five quarterbacks are already off the board, and watching Sanders slip this much has been shocking, to say the least.
As unimpressive as his tape was, and even though he didn’t seem to possess any elite trait, he was still considered to be either the second-best or third-best quarterback prospect in this class.
