Deion Sanders, his famous father, tweeted a simple three-word message after his son was drafted at long last: "God is Good!" Included in the post were a few pictures of Shedeur during his time starting for the Buffaloes at quarterback. Sanders is clearly happy his son will follow in his footsteps in the professional realm.

Every football player should remember that the NFL is like the government; they know everything that’s going on with current players and those drafted to play the sport they love. Shedeur Sanders is a polarizing athlete who kept many fans waiting with high expectations to hear his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Travis Hunter was the headliner at No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while LaJohntay Wester (No. 203 overall to the Baltimore Ravens) and Jimmy Horn Jr. (No. 208 overall to the Carolina Panthers) went in the sixth round.
