Sanders was initially believed to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft , but fell out of favor throughout the process.
Opinions differ depending on who you ask.
Some believe he's the best quarterback in the class. Others feel it's only a matter of time until he's declared a draft bust. Then there are those that center the evaluation on personality, which ranges from a class act to an entitled, arrogant individual.

Here's a look at whether Sanders was drafted and which NFL team he'll be taking his talents to whenever it happens.
Did Shedeur Sanders get drafted?
Sanders has not been drafted yet. After falling out of the top-10, Sanders' next landing spot figured to be the Pittsburgh Steelers .
They opted to pass on him, instead selecting Oregon DT Derrick Harmon at No. 21. The plot thickens for Sanders, who now could be forced to wait until Friday night to hear his named called.
Recent NFL mock drafts had him slipping out of the top five and some out of the top 10. Rumors that swirled ahead of the draft suggested he could even fall out of the first round entirely.

There's no telling how long the draft wait will be, but he's certainly not in danger of going undrafted, even if the wait is a little longer than he'd like.
