- Still waiting to be drafted, Shedeur Sanders shares common refrain – with a twist
On Sundays – usually, and typically during football season – Shedeur Sanders shares a message with his followers on social media.
"Thank you GOD," he writes.
On Friday, as he went undrafted through the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL draft and watched (at least) five other quarterbacks be picked before him, he offered the refrain – with a twist.

"Thank you GOD," he wrote, "for EVERYTHING."
Sanders watched Thursday as the New York Giants , a potential suitor, traded back into the first round for Mississippi quarterback Jaxson Dart . The Cleveland Browns passed on him for a second and third time at the top of the second round and the New Orleans Saints settled on Louisville's Tyler Shough 40th overall.
The matches for teams in the quarterback market dwindled. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't take him with their third-round pick. Then the painful part came. First, it was the Seattle Seahawks taking Jalen Milroe in the third round at No. 92 overall, followed by the Browns going with Dillon Gabriel two picks later.
