About this listen
Shedeur Sanders — the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders — was once projected to go top 10 in the 2025 NFL Draft… so how did he fall all the way to Round 5 (Pick 144)?
In this video, we break down the wild and unexpected freefall of one of college football's most talked-about quarterbacks. Was it his tape? Was it Deion’s shadow? Was it cockiness, conference strength, or something deeper going on behind the scenes? We also look at past NFL Draft slides from stars like Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith, and compare how Shedeur’s situation stacks up.
➡️ Is Shedeur a victim of NFL politics?
➡️ Or was the hype just bigger than the production?
➡️ And what does this say about “nepo babies” in pro sports like Shedeur and Bronny James?
📊 With over 4,100 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and a standout season at Colorado, Sanders has the numbers — but now he has to prove he belongs. Will he silence the critics and make the NFL regret passing on him?
📣 Sound off in the comments: Was this slide justified, or was Shedeur blackballed?
