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.

The fall of Shedeur Sanders down the 2025 NFL Draft order was the talk of the weekend, even inspiring President Donald Trump to make an intervention, firing off a social media post blasting teams for not taking the Colorado quarterback.

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.
