Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders remains the biggest story of the NFL Draft's first two days. However, no NFL team has been willing to take a chance on the son of current Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders.
To the surprise of the college and NFL community, Shedeur Sanders appears to be in limbo as to which team, if any, would select him, given the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and New Orleans Saints all addressed their respective needs. However, both the Saints and Giants went with arguably less flashy quarterback picks in Louisville's Tyler Shough and Ole Miss product Jaxson Dart, respectively, instead of Shedeur Sanders.
NFL pundits and draft experts like Mel Kiper Jr. are adamant that NFL teams will regret passing on Shedeur Sanders after all.
"For Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders, all I can say is, I think it's disgusting," Kiper Jr. said on "SportsCenter With Scott Van Pelt." "I don't understand what the heck is going on with this [slide]. [He was] the fifth player on my [draft] board. This has never happened before in 47 years where a player [ranked] that high has dropped this far."
Kiper Jr. added not a single quarterback picked thus far outside of No. 1 overall selection Cam Ward is "better than Shedeur" and it's "not even close."
If this is the case, either NFL personnel gave Shedeur Sanders a next-to-impossible interview process, or there is another unknown reason why the Buffaloes star has yet to be picked.

Regardless, Shedeur Sanders' slide has become the biggest draft story in recent memory as Saturday approaches.
By then, we'll see if a team listens to Kiper Jr.
Only time will tell.
