The Shedeur Sanders draft-day slide was a big story. Big enough to make it into Monday's briefing from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. It wasn't a complete surprise, given that President Donald Trump chimed after the first round of the draft regarding the failure of Sanders to be selected in the first round.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested in a briefing Monday that President Donald Trump deserves credit for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders securing a team spot after four rounds.

Trump took to his Truth Social media platform on Friday after Sanders, who some mock drafts forecast to be selected as high as the No. 2 overall pick, was not taken two days into the 2025 NFL Draft.
