Even the biggest detractors of Sheder Sanders have not seen this one coming.
Day 2 of the NFL 2025 draft finished Friday with the quarter-Arrière of Colorado still on the board, after being largely supposed to be the choice of the 5 best. At Best Sanders cannot now be a choice of fourth round and the sixth quarter of the table.

Sanders falling from the first round was notable enough The President of the United States weighed earlier Friday. But for him to last more than 102 choices and to make day 3 of the project is the type of development that invites conspiracy theories. Sanders was Only 39th on the large Yahoo Sports consensus boardBut that always means more than five dozen players behind him.
Sanders at least took the night with a courageous face on social networks.
Several NFL players were incredulous during the second round, in which many people expected Sanders to be selected early. The same thing occurred in the draft of the NFL 2023, when the future quarter of the titans of Tennessee Will Levis was selected 33rd in the general classification, the first choice of day 2, after having Langui in the recovery room throughout the first round.

Instead, Cleveland's Browns have passed to him, and the New Orleans and all the other teams. More than a few players thought that something had to continue.
A player who was fine with the selection of Tyler Shough's saints was his future teammate, the star of New Orleans, Cam Jordan. But even he managed to speculate on the saints who take Sanders later, as when Washington chose Robert Griffin III second in the general classification, then Kirk Cousins in the third round of the 2012 draft.
The most unhappy moment of the night was when a cruel joker somehow acquired Sanders telephone number and called him by pretending to represent an NFL team. The cameras of the Sanders family caught the moment in detail, and the former receiver of the holys Michael Thomas pleaded them to extinguish the cameras.
And then there were those who had just done in the teams that most publicly dropped Sanders.
Throughout all this, you see how NFL players are not so different from everyone in the way they take the project. The average NFL player knows a lot, much more about football than you (yes, even you), but this group has clearly gravity towards Sanders for which many fans have done so.

Sanders was in one of the brightest spotlights in university football, created by his father, for two years and has not tried to hide a personality who rubbed certain people in the wrong direction. He acted as if he knew he was a star and did not apologize; It is not surprising that some players turned to him and identified with him more than your tight end or your average corner.
Sanders also had athletes outside the NFL for him.

On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons wondered if Sanders' slideshow was really this atypical in the history of the project, noting the passage of Lamar Jackson of the potential choice of the Top 10 to No. 32 in total with the Baltimore Ravens. It certainly worked for Jackson and the Ravens.
Some former players also disputed not with the fall of Sanders, but the reaction on this subject. As was said previously, Sanders has its detractors, random fans to NFL coaches. More than a few people liked to see him be the victim of one of the greatest slides in the history of the NFL draft.
On the other hand, the former replacement QB of the NFL, Chase Daniel, spoke to defend the quarters criticized after their selection in front of Sanders.
The 3rd day of the NFL 2025 draft will start at 12 noon in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the Titans du Tennessee on the board of directors at 103rd in total.
