Shedeur Sanders was not selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft, in one of the most shocking slides of any upper field marshal in the history of the League.
The third round closed Friday night with five quarterbacks, while Sanders and his family remain uncertain about where and when his professional career will begin.
NFL Draft Field Marshal errors that shape the league panorama

After Cam Ward was selected with the first general selection on Thursday night, the experts assumed that Sanders would soon continue as the second selected field marshal. Instead, Jaxson Dart was the second field marshal when the New York giants returned to the first round to take him to 25.
At the beginning of the second round, the Saints of New Orleans used the 40th selection to take Tyler Llow. Then, at the end of the third round, the Seattle Seahawks took Jalen Milroe at age 92 and then the Cleveland Browns took Dillon Gabriel at age 94.
It was projected that Dart, Plow, Milroe and Gabriel went much later than Sanders by explorers and analysts, and early projections even had Sanders above Ward in number 1.
Sanders led the Big 12 conference with 4,134 air yards and 37 TouchDown passes and was appointed the offensive player of the year Big 12. In his 50 university games, Sanders launched for 14,347 yards, 134 Touchdowns and 27 interceptions.

For a quarterback perspective of that esteem that falls from the third round it is very unusual in the NFL.
The main perspectives such as Sanders have seen shocking slides in the past steps of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers was reduced to the 25th General Selection in the 2005 NFL Draft, and the 49ers passed it by Alex Smith.
Patrick Mahomes was not taken until the 10th selection in the 2017 Draft, and the Bears passed it through Mitch Trubisky. Even so, at that time, Mohamses was less an advertising perspective than Sanders.
Lamar Jackson fell to selection 32 in the 2018 Draft, after four other quarterbacks were taken in front of him.
But Sanders, who was once considered the main candidate in number 1 in general this year, falling up to day three of the draft, is a historical Anamoly.
To worsen things for him and his family, Sanders was called by an imposter during a live broadcast on Friday night.
While he and his family were broadcast live on the second day of his party at the NFL draft on Friday night, Sanders was seen responding a phone call that meant that he was from a general manager making the decision to recruit him.
Then, the person who called told the anxious young athlete that “he would have to wait a little longer,” since Sanders’ smile faded quickly.
The decision of the NFL teams not to write Sanders has caused a massive controversy and debate along the draft, and even before the rumors that Sanders fell on the Draft boards became public.
An anonymous NFL coach recently told the NFL network Sanders was “the worst formal interview in which I have been in my life.”
“He has a lot of right. He takes unnecessary captures. He never plays in time. He has a horrible body language. He blames teammates,” the coach continued. “But the most important thing is that it is not so good.”
Another AFC executive for a long time echoed that feeling, saying at the exit: “It was not great in our interview. He wants to dictate what he is going to do and what is better for him. It makes you feel small.”
The superstar of the Kansas City bosses, Patrick Mahomes, apparently alluded to the Sanders draft slide in an X position later on Friday, simply writing “Crazy”.
President Donald Trump even joined the debate on Friday, when he started the “stupid” NFL owners for transmitting the Star Colorado field and allowing him to fall into the second round.
“What happens to the owners of the NFL, are stupid? Deion Sanders was a great university soccer player, and was even greater in the NFL. He is also a very good coach, streetwise and intelligent! Therefore, Shedeur, his son of Marshal of Campo, has phenomenal genes, and everything is ready for greatness,” Trump wrote in a Social publication of truth.
“It should be” chosen “immediately by a team that wants to win. Good luck Shedeur, and greet your wonderful father!”
Now, Sanders will have to wait until the third day of the draft to listen to his name called, if called.
However, it has apparently expressed gratitude and patience throughout the process despite the dramatic slip.
In an X post on Friday night, while the third round was coming to an end, Sanders thanked Go.
“Thank God for everything,” he wrote.
