The story of the NFL Draft entering Day 2 is less about the players who were picked in the first round and more about a certain prospect left unselected: Shedeur Sanders. After the first night ended with commissioner Roger Goodell reading 32 draft picks’ names who weren’t Sanders, the former Colorado star addressed the crowd gathered at his draft party in Texas, telling his friends and family, “We all didn’t expect this, of course.”

“Under no circumstance, we all know this shouldn’t have happened,” Sanders said about his slide out of the first round, during which two other quarterbacks were selected: Miami’s Cam Ward at No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans and Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart at No. 25 to the New York Giants.
“I feel like, with God, anything is possible. Everything is possible. I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All this is, of course, fuel to the fire,” Sanders said, later adding, “We understand we’re on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow is the day, we’re going to be happy regardless.”
Sanders’ mention of being happy regardless of where he winds up sits in contrast with previous quotes from his Hall of Fame father and Colorado coach, Deion Sanders, about where Shedeur and Travis Hunter would wind up.
“I know where I want them to go. So there’s certain cities that ain’t going to happen. It’s going to be an Eli,” Deion said in a 2024 interview, referencing the 2004 debacle in which Eli Manning and his father Arch stated they would refuse to play for the San Diego Chargers if the Chargers picked Manning No. 1. The Chargers went on to select Manning with the first pick, then traded him to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers and other picks.
In the interview, Deion said both Shedeur and Hunter would go in the top four, with one of them going No. 1. While Colorado co-star Hunter went No. 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, those same Giants — who were projected by some as a team that could target Sanders — passed on Sanders at the No. 3 pick and then passed on him twice more later in the first round. First, when they traded down from the No. 21 pick, and then again when they selected Dart at No. 25.
Other quarterback-needing teams who passed over Sanders were the New Orleans Saints at No. 9 and the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21.
The second day of the NFL Draft begins at at 7 p.m. ET with the Cleveland Browns making the first pick of the second round.
