Dan Orlovsky’s latest take on Shedeur Sanders did not go over well with Deion Sanders.
When discussing the former Colorado quarterback on Thursday night during ESPN’s 2025 NFL Draft coverage, Orlovsky called attention to his unnecessary sacks.
“If Shedeur doesn’t go early tonight — plays like these, I believe, will be a reason why and what he will have to work on in,” Orlovsky posted to X.
After catching wind of Orlovsky’s comments, Deion took aim at the ESPN analyst, calling him out for being a “hater” of the former Buffaloes quarterback.
“Yes he did! Wow,” Deion said in a post on X in response to Orlovsky pointing out Shedeur’s flaws ahead of the draft.
As we all witnessed in real time, Shedeur Sanders just didn’t drop in the draft, he was completely passed over in the first round after numerous months of the media talking about him possibly going within the top-5 in the draft.
Shedeur enjoyed a strong 2024 campaign, throwing for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns while also rushing for 100 yards and another four scores. He left college with the highest completion percentage (71.8%) of any qualified FBS-I passer in college football history.
Where Will Shedeur Sanders Land In The Draft?
Miami’s Cam Ward was the only quarterback to hear his name called within the first 24 picks.
The Steelers, who had been heavily linked to Sanders, opted to pick Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon at No. 21. The Giants, also linked to Sanders, selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with pick No. 3.
They traded back into the first round, and just when everybody thought that this was the moment, they opted for QB Jaxson Dart instead.
Sanders, who saw former Colorado teammate Travis Hunter go second overall to the Jaguars following a blockbuster trade with the Browns, is still waiting for his name to be called.
Should he fall out of the second round, then his next stop could be anybody’s guess.
