We will always remember the 2025 NFL drafts due to the dramatic slide of Sheder Sanders.
This is unprecedented, really. This is the largest NFL draft slide when you turn around Jackson State and Colorado – as a possibility you have a possibility as a possibility and achievements on the field.
While media promotion around Sanders was always very inflated, there is no way that it should still be on the board. Certainly, he was not a top -15, the first round talent. It makes sense. But the New Orleans monk drafted Tyler Shaf on Friday. Cleveland Brown drafted the Dillon Gabriel of Oregon in round 3.
These people are not in any way, size or form than Sanders, and literally no one has drafted them in front of them.
As Sanders are still available in round 4, everyone in the football world is trying to understand how this happened. Let’s speculation.
1. Sanders camp ends its hand
From the first day, Dion Sanders announced that there were some NFL organizations that he would not allow to play for his son. He said that he would inform these teams professionally and privately.
Perhaps he has overplayed his hand. Maybe, just may be, behind closed doors, Sanders family told many organizations that they would not play in their specific city, the word has gone out, and now the league is hitting against them.
NFL is not NBA. It was always going to be difficult for the Sanders family and was trying this to Borni James. But why this happened, this is the best principle on it.
2. Maybe Shedur asked for a lot of money
The issue with this principle is that we guarantee completely rogue quarterback contracts every year, so it is not a lot.
We know that Sanders, who is one of the most paid college athletes in the history of the Nil era, is a intimacy for fine things in life, and perhaps meeting with teams that see them as backups.
It seems like the principle of the farthest.
3. Teams do not want Dion pressure

Love or hate him, you cannot ignore the fact that the colorado nation laughed and made them bowl-worthy in two small sessions.
Perhaps teams feel that if they put severe draft capital, like the top -100 pick, in Shedur, their owner can be fascinated to appoint their father. While coach Prime signed a new mega deal to remain a prominent person in Boulder recently, we know that college football coaching contracts are fickle and all this is about purchase. Remember, he interviewed Dallas Cowboy a few months ago.
The social media handle of coach Prime is very active, and if Shedur had to struggle, there is a realistic opportunity to give the family their opinion and what is going wrong, it will be quick to diagnose what is going wrong.
4. Shedur NFL’s most polarization will be backup

Compulsory Credit: Michael Siagal-Imagon Picture Due to the propagation around the sanders going in this process and coverage around this decline in NFL drafts, it will become the most polarized backup quarterback in NFL.
It is understandable why teams will not want the media circus around the backup stalled quarterbacks. It is a difficult task to learn life in NFL, but sprinkle and surrounding noise can be very high for a young player in which a lot is learned.
5. Limited market for cuby
The 2025 NFL drafts have a cubic room just about the heading, NFL. Even the backup quarterbacks have been well compensated in this offsen, and teams are likely to be looking for projects with Sanders that Sanders will bring.
Tenasi Titans drafted CAM ward number 1 and solved their QB problem. New York giants traded back to Jackson Dart. Brown, Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are three of the three teams that could definitely use sanders due to lack of options, and they probably didn’t just see just a fit.
Factoring that at least possible the Sanders family told some teams that they would not be ready to play in a given city, which further limits the option of Shedur.
