Sheder Sanders is still there. 102 Choice after the start of the draft.
It was not planned. At all.
Very long announced in the Top 10 of the Draft NFL 2025, the young quarterback of Colorado still does not have a team after 3 laps. What make one of the most commented falls in the history of the draft.
And this is where the whole plot resides: comments, media noise. A strategy led by his father Deion, who first seemed paid to SheDer Sanders. Now she turns against the whole family.
No NFL teams seem to want to complicate their life with a player whose sporting potential is now lower than the nuisance potential.
Sheder Sanders, not so good in the field, but not that bad
Falling into the draft is not new. But in such a media way, yes. In 2022, Malik Willis went from top 10 potential to 86th Draft choice. It hadn't traumatized anyone.
The first thing you have to understand is that Sheder Sanders is an incomplete player. Seeing him in the first round was not obvious for everyone.
In the pocket, Sanders panic and take too much pressure. He also does not have a canon arm or crazy athletic performance. He did not evolve in a large team and never knew the university playoffs. It was therefore without great surprise that he “dropped” on the second day.
But the second day is more inexplicable, since we saw even more limited quarterbacks be chosen. For Jalen Milroe, this can be explained, as the potential is enormous. But Tyler Shough and Dillon Gabriel are much older prospects that do not have the potential of a Sanders. This is where the explanation of this fall goes beyond the simple frame of the field.
Ego, cameras and failed job interviews
As a reminder, SheDer Sanders is the son of Deion Sanders, an old mega-star in NFL. One of the most recognizable characters in this sport by his performances and the media character he created. But if he succeeded, it is also a human overflowing with ego who has always put his children on the front media line. He even went so far as to classify his children by preference in the press conference. Having become the trainer of SheDer Sanders, he organized around his son an unprecedented media cove, making a light too strong light shine.
To a lesser extent, the example is confirmed with Shilo, his other son, who is Safety. Mediocre in university, he created the controversy by being invited to the senior Bowl without his performance being able to explain it. Deion Sanders wanted to create a media monster, but this whole bubble is exploding. And it is his children who pay the price.
There may be another explanation for this more recent fall. What the insiders Americans for several weeks is that Sheder Sanders would have carried out very bad job interviews during the Draft process. Never recognizing his mistakes, blaming the teammates, he would have shown self -centeredness worthy of his father. Except that he does not have talent. He who said he wanted to choose his team, he doesn't even have it after 2 days.
Symbol of the debacle, the giants were under the spell, with a Brian Daboll and a Joe Schoen who courted him for weeks. After meeting him, they chose to go up to the draft… for Jaxson Dart.
Stream, Donald Trump and the snowball effect
The problem is also that its descent into the draft seems to create a snowball effect. Plus Sheder Sanders descends, the more he gives teams reasons not to select it. The family organized a big party for the draft. A party broadcast live on Twitch! When some players refuse the invitation to the draft to avoid being filmed in a possible fall, the Colorado quarterback agreed to broadcast his for more than a day.
At the end of the first round, Deion Sanders Jr, another son of Deion Sanders, put online a video in which his brother Shemer is expressed, with what looks like a bit of bitterness.
“” We obviously did not expect that. […] Anything is possible. I think it did not happen without reason. All this adds oil to the fire. We all know that it shouldn't have happened, but we understand, we turn to bigger and better things. Tomorrow is the big day. We will be happy whatever happens. »»
And then other videos extracted from stream Live have started to go out … Still not the intermediary of the family itself! Sheder and deion talking about the Browns.
“” I'll tell you what they have: they have Joe Flacco“, Sets the youngest. “” FLACCO is my age! I like Flacco“, Answers the father.
Cleveland replied by selecting Dillon Gabriel, a quarterback that no one was waiting for so high.
During this direct, we also saw Sheder Sanders receiving a call by believing that he was going to be selected … to finally realize that it was a telephone horn. No TV director to save him. Everyone was able to take advantage of it. The stream was finally cut a little later, and the replay deleted from the chain.

Even Donald Trump got involved. On his social network, before the start of the second round, the American president began to support Sanders in the night from Friday to Saturday: ” What's wrong with NFL owners, are they stupid? Deion Sanders was a super academic player, even better in NFL. It is also a very good coach, a smart and intelligent guy! Consequently, SheDer, his son Quarterback, has Phenomenal Genomenae, and he has everything to be a big one. It should be selected immediately by a team that wants to win. Good luck sheDer, and say hello to your super father! »»
What team NFL would want to manage such a media noise, going back to the country's political sphere, for a player who is not even guaranteed to be a solid holder?
Sheder Sanders saved by… the best?
And now ? Sheder Sanders will end up being called. But by whom? The Titans, Giants, Saints and Browns have already closed the door, with the selection of a launcher. Among the teams that may have a need for a launcher, the Steelers seem to be the best solution. They have the coach in place for the longest long throughout the league, a guarantee of stability.
But for the moment, with their first two choices, they have not bitten. After having lived alongside Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, George Pickens and a pack of other players not frankly easy to manage, does Mike Tomlin simply want to spare headaches?
So who? Paradoxically, the fall could be a chance for Sanders. The best way to reduce him and his father, in silence, would be to be hired by a team with both an indisputable quarterback and a solid direction.
What could Deion Sanders be to say if the son landed in the chiefs behind Patrick Mahomes? On the Bills bench behind Josh Allen? With John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson's Ravens?
RAMs could act as a transition option. The project would be to be the successor of Matthew Stafford after learning under the orders of Sean Mcvay.
Conversely, cowboys or raiders would serve as a powder. Ultra-media teams, with a solid quarterback but which could be thrown into the media vindictive at the slightest drop in shape.
Everywhere else, the cirque is guest. And each franchise studies the benefit/risk ratio.
Sheder Sanders will necessarily be selected before the end of the draft. But no one knows where he will go.
