Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' unexpected slide in the 2025 NFL Draft continues. Deep into the third round, the quarterback continues to go undrafted, despite multiple picks by teams that need either starting or backup QBs.

We'll see how much longer the former Colorado quarterback has to wait for his name to be called entering the last few rounds of the draft.
