The 2025 NFL Draft's first round came and went without a single mention of Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado quarterback who boasted that he was the best in his class, insisting that any team passing him up would be "fools." Despite his bravado, teams hesitated, leaving him stranded in the draft and showcasing deeper flaws in his game.

As Friday's rounds came to a close, all 32 teams still overlooked Sanders, who once glittered as a potential top-five pick. His descent has left many wondering about his future as Day 3 approaches, with Rounds 4-7 set to kick off this Saturday at noon ET.

Potential Landing Spots for Shedeur Sanders:

9. Philadelphia Eagles

It might sound offbeat for a Super Bowl champion team, but the Eagles' interest in grooming quarterbacks is well known. With Jalen Hurts firmly in place, could they see Sanders as a future trade asset if he develops into a reliable backup?

8. Arizona Cardinals

While the Cardinals aren't desperate for a quarterback, they’re also navigating a precarious situation with Kyler Murray. If Murray doesn’t up his game, Sanders could become an intriguing option to stir excitement amid uncertainty.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars

With Trevor Lawrence's prior injuries, Sanders could serve as a valuable high-upside backup. Plus, his connection with new addition Travis Hunter could create instant chemistry if he joins the Jags.

6. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts have lined up their quarterback battle this summer, but adding Sanders to the mix could provide additional depth and a more polished passing style for coach Shane Steichen to work with.

5. Dallas Cowboys

While Dak Prescott remains the starter, owner Jerry Jones has been known to explore youthful talents. If Sanders falls to them, it could be a sweet nod to his father, Deion Sanders, and a smart move for the future.

4. Los Angeles Rams

Sean McVay has a knack for revitalizing quarterbacks. With Matthew Stafford's age becoming a concern, Sanders could be the perfect developmental project the Rams need to secure their future.

3. New York Jets

As the Jets focus on surrounding new QB Justin Fields with talent, could they take a shot on Sanders? His high-profile family could create headlines, but the real question lies in turning value into potential.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

With the Steelers’ quarterback situation in flux, could Sanders slip in as an unexpected choice? Even if they secure Aaron Rodgers, Sanders could serve as the future under low expectations.

1. Las Vegas Raiders

As win-now contenders, the Raiders have overlooked Sanders several times. Despite that, their connection with Tom Brady might sway their decision to finally take a gamble on his potential.

As the clock ticks down to Day 3 of the draft, all eyes will be on Shedeur Sanders to see if he can defy the odds and find a new home in the NFL.
