Names kept flying off the board. Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft came and went. Day 2? Gone too. But the name everyone was waiting for, Shedeur Sanders, still hasn’t been called. The silence around him is loud, and it’s got NFL fans and insiders seriously confused.
Even Patrick Mahomes took to X and said what most people were thinking: “Crazy.” One fan even joked, “Tell Andy Reid to draft him as Mr. Irrelevant tomorrow.” Now that would be wild and interesting if this happens.
Meanwhile, former NFL linebacker turned TV host Emmanuel Acho was so shocked, he walked out of dinner just to speak on it. Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back either, saying someone texted him, “Someone just texted me this message and they are absolutely correct: “This is a bad look for the NFL. This feels like Kaepernick-level collusion.” All the hard work the NFL League Office puts in to eradicate these kinds of perceptions, only to turn around and watch as the OWNERS look like they’re colluding, messing up everything. What has been done to Shedeur will outshine everything else in this draft. We’ll never believe this is about just talent evaluation again.”

So, as per Smith, what’s happening to Shedeur Sanders overshadows everything else in this draft. And then there’s Brett Favre. The Hall of Famer shared a throwback of his own draft moment, young Brett on the phone, loved ones cheering behind him. He kept it real: “Heck, I didn’t care when I got drafted, I just wanted a team to give me a chance wherever I went. It’s what you do when your # is called that matters, not when you were taken. On top of that, the team that drafted me didn’t even want me (laughing emoji).”
Fans were hoping teams like the Browns, Saints, or Raiders would finally make the move. But when Cleveland picked Dillon Gabriel at 94? Yeah, that one raised a few eyebrows.
