Overview

• Shedeur Sanders, previously expected to be a top-three pick, was not selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, with only two quarterbacks taken on Day 1.
• Reports attribute Sanders' slide to poor team interviews and concerns about his arm strength, mobility, and perceived entitlement during the draft process.
• The Cleveland Browns are the betting favorites to draft Sanders with the first pick of the second round, with sportsbooks giving them -250 odds at DraftKings.
• Other potential landing spots include the Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers, though the latter lacks a second-round pick.
• Sanders has publicly embraced the setback, calling it “fuel to the fire” and expressing optimism about his future as Day 2 of the draft approaches.
