Many spectators were shocked as the first round of the NFL Draft ended with Colorado star quarterback Shedeur Sanders going undrafted on Thursday.

Among them was President Donald Trump, who took to social media to voice his displeasure with teams passing on the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders.

On Truth Social, Trump questioned if NFL owners were “stupid” for passing on Shedeur and said he should be picked “immediately“ if a team is looking to win.

Shedeur won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2024 after helping lead his team to a 9-4 record.

“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?,” Trump said. “Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart!

“Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”

Sanders was projected to go in the first round of the draft likely as the second quarterback after Cam Ward, who was taken first overall by the Tennessee Titans.

However, the New York Giants ended up taking Jaxson Dart 25th overall as the only other quarterback drafted in the first round.

Shedeur addressed his slide out of the first round in a post on Deion’s Instagram account.

”We all didn’t expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible,” Shedeur said.

“I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things.”

NFL pundits will watch closely as the second round of the draft begins Friday night with the Cleveland Browns having the first pick and are eyed as a team that could take Shedeur due to having quarterback issues.
