The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft came and went without commissioner Roger Goodell calling the name of former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The son of NFL legend Deion Sanders is the most talked-about prospect in this draft class, and he will have to wait until Day 2 to find out where he will be playing next.

Sanders was not at the draft site in Green Bay. Instead, he hosted a draft party in Canton, TX. Shots of the party were broadcast on television as he continued to drop in the first round, but what wasn’t shown was his message to partygoers when the first round ended. A video of his message came via his brother:

Shedeur Sanders response to not getting Drafted in the First Round 👀 “We all didn’t expect this…Just more fuel to the fire” “Tomorrow is the day, We going to be happy regardless” 🎥 : @DeionSandersJr pic.twitter.com/D2IEsZiGai

“I feel like with God, anything is possible. Everything is possible. And I feel like this happened for no reason. All this is, of course, fuel to the fire and under no circumstance should this have happened. But we understand we’re onto bigger and better things, tomorrow is the day. We’re gonna be happy regardless. Legendary.”

Apart from missing out on the first round, Sanders also wasn’t the second quarterback selected in the draft. Following Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans, the New York Giants traded back into the first round with the Houston Texans at No. 25 overall to take Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart.

The good news for Sanders is that a quarterback-needy team kicks off Round 2 with the Cleveland Browns at No. 33 overall. Could he be Deshaun Watson’s replacement? We’ll have to wait until 7 p.m. ET Friday to find out.
