NFL DRAFT

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is commenting after his son, Shedeur, was not selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Several teams with quarterback needs passed on the second-team All-American, with many questioning why Sanders, who many had a first-round grade on, was passed up.

Coach Prime was one of those who questioned it.

“My bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise & he chose the weak things of the world that he may put to shame the strong! Please know God ain’t done & God is just really getting started. Enjoy this lesson & stop stressing,” Sanders wrote on social media.

Shedeur Sanders was not in attendance at the draft in Green Bay, but instead spent his time with friends and family in Canton, Texas, at a draft party waiting for his name to be called.

Sanders is expected to go on the draft’s second day and spoke to those in attendance at his draft party after the first round.

“We all didn’t expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things,” Sanders said. “Tomorrow’s the day. We going to be happy regardless. Legendary.”
