What Went Wrong: How Shedeur Sanders’ Draft Stock Tumbled Before the Big Day

Shedeur Sanders entered the 2025 NFL Draft cycle as one of the most polarizing quarterback prospects in recent memory. The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Shedeur had the pedigree, the production, and the spotlight—but as draft night approached, his stock plummeted in ways few predicted.

So, what went wrong?

The Hype vs. The Reality

After transferring from Jackson State to Colorado, Shedeur put up big numbers in Coach Prime’s offense, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2024. But scouts began questioning whether his success was a product of the system rather than NFL-ready talent.

Shedeur Sanders Falls to Fifth Round: Here’s How Much Money He Lost in NFL Draft Slide

“His stats were inflated by a lot of quick-game throws and screens,” an NFC scout told Sports Illustrated. “When you watched the tape, the arm talent was there, but the decision-making under pressure was shaky.”

The Pre-Draft Process Exposed Flaws

At the NFL Combine, Sanders measured smaller than expected (just under 6’1”), and his athletic testing was mediocre for a QB who wasn’t considered a pure pocket passer. Worse, whispers about his leadership style began circulating.

“Some teams got feedback that he wasn’t the most coachable guy,” an AFC executive revealed. “When you’re the son of a legend, there’s an expectation that you’ve been groomed for this, but some staffs felt he resisted criticism.”

The Pro Day That Backfired

Sanders’ much-hyped pro day was supposed to silence doubters. Instead, it amplified concerns. His deep-ball accuracy was inconsistent, and he forced throws into coverage—a recurring issue from his college tape.

“Everyone wanted to believe in him because of the name and the charisma,” said ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. “But when you’re evaluating a franchise QB, you need to see growth, and some teams didn’t see enough.”

The Final Slide

Once projected as a potential late first-rounder, Sanders now looks like a Day 2 or even Day 3 pick. Teams in need of a QB—like the Raiders, Saints, or Rams—passed on him in favor of more polished prospects.

The fall is reminiscent of other highly touted college QBs who struggled to translate to the pros. The question now: Can Shedeur prove the doubters wrong, or is this the beginning of a cautionary tale?

One thing’s certain: The NFL draft is unforgiving, and no last name—not even Sanders—guarantees success.
