Tonight, we are witnessing something far greater than just a draft snub. We are witnessing a message … loud, clear, and ugly.

Shedeur Sanders, a once-projected Top 2 quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, still remains undrafted into the third round. Not because he lacks the talent. Not because he lacks the poise, leadership, or intangibles. He possesses all of that and more. He is humble yet confident, a field general born not only from personal drive but from the legacy of greatness itself, being the son of the greatest cornerback the game has ever known, Deion Sanders.

And yet here we are.

The NFL, the ultimate machine of power and perception, is once again flexing its ability to “remind” players — and their families — who holds the reins. It is a brutal and deliberate reminder: We decide when you succeed. We decide when you are celebrated. And we most certainly decide when you are humbled.

This is not about Shedeur’s ability. This is about vitriol, control, and a pointed effort to diminish.

It is absolutely atrocious to see such blatant disregard for a player who has proven himself at every level he has touched. This is not just a snub — it is a public display of disdain. To pass on Shedeur Sanders, round after round, is to reveal a deep, seething animosity, not towards the young man alone, but towards what he represents: unapologetic excellence born from a lineage they cannot manipulate or contain.

Make no mistake. Shedeur’s moment will come. And when it does, it will not just be sweet — it will be historic.

You cannot bury what God has destined to rise.
