Shedeur Sanders will not be in attendance at the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. However, he will be watching the event inside a luxurious, custom-made draft room made for him and his close friends and family to watch the event and hear his name called.

The room features a large shelf with each NFL team’s hat on it with his logo plastered atop the shelf. It appears that he’ll be sitting inside a makeshift room surrounded by his own ‘legendary’ tag theme, which surrounds a couch and a pair of microphones waiting to be picked up on the table in front of it. More couches adorn the room — all facing a pair of wide-screen projectors displaying the feed of the 2025 NFL Draft, waiting for Sanders’ name to be called.

ESPN would draw some criticism for continuously cutting back to Sanders’ draft room. Comically, on more than one occasion, the ESPN broadcast lingered on Sanders’ couch. However, the couch was empty and Sanders was nowhere to be seen.

Nick Saban defends Shedeur Sanders, praises accuracy ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

Shedeur Sanders is one of the more interesting prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. Determining where he may land on Thursday has been one of the more widely discussed topics of conversation heading into the first round.

Sanders has won over one man in particular — legendary college football coach Nick Saban. Saban revealed that he’s a fan of the quarterback from Colorado during ESPN College GameDay ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

“I do think I’m a Shedeur fan,” Saban admitted. “Because I think he played in a little different style in college because of the players around him, he had to scramble more. But when he can drop, set his feet, and throw on time he’s the most accurate guy from the quarterback position as anyone.”

As a senior in 2024, Sanders threw for a career-best 4,134 yards on an impressive 74% completion percentage to go along with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Spending the last two seasons playing for the Buffaloes, he scored 72 total touchdowns.

Sanders averaged a 69.95% completion percentage during his career. All told, Sanders passed for 14,318 yards and 134 touchdowns. His 10 interceptions in 2024 were a career-high, so he isn’t known for turning the ball over through the air.

Before Colorado, Sanders played two seasons for Jackson State, where he threw for an impressive 70 touchdowns compared to 14 interceptions. All four seasons of his college career were played under his head coach and father, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
