Shedeur Sanders — one of the biggest names in the 2025 NFL Draft as a polarizing prospect with a Hall of Fame father — was not selected in the first round during Thursday’s draft, sliding far down the order from where some originally projected the Colorado quarterback would be picked.
Only two QBs were selected in Round 1: Miami’s Cam Ward by the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 and Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart by the New York Giants at No. 25. The New Orleans Saints, previously rumored to be targeting a quarterback and potentially Sanders, took Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr. with the No. 9 pick. The quarterback-needy Pittsburgh Steelers — another potential landing spot for Sanders — went with Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon at No. 21.

Brugler previously noted that Sanders was expected to be a “wild card” in this draft and that the QB “could go in the top six or fall out of the first round entirely — and neither outcome would be a shock.” There had been speculation that the Giants, who held a private workout with Sanders in Boulder earlier this month, would take him with the No. 3 pick (they went with edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3, then later took Dart). Pittsburgh was also widely deemed a possible landing spot for S
