The 22-year-old quarterback had been widely projected as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, with analysts calling him “one of the most talented quarterbacks in the class.”
But when draft day came, Sanders slid all the way to pick No. 144 in the fifth round, where the Browns finally called his name.
The unexpected drop sparked debate across sports media, with many questioning how a player with his resume could fall so far.
Sanders, however, kept his cool. “We all didn’t expect this, of course,” he stated. “But I feel like with God, anything’s possible, everything’s possible. I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All this is of course fuel to the fire.”
Adding to the chaos, Sanders received a prank call during the draft. The caller pretended to be New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis.
However, Sanders brushed off the incident. He called the prank “childish” and added, “It didn’t really have an impact on me… I don’t feed into negativity or I don’t feed into that stuff.”
The NFL has launched an investigation into how Sanders’ private draft phone number was leaked.
The number was supposed to be used exclusively for official team communications. The prankster, later identified as Jax Ulbrich, publicly apologized.
Sanders’ father, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, stood firmly behind his son through it all. “God don’t make mistakes. He’s right where he’s supposed to be,” he said.
