"This is a repudiation by the NFL of how Shedeur Sanders and those around him handled the entire NFL Draft process," Jones said. "What you're not going to tell me -- or really anyone who watches football -- is that Shedeur Sanders is a worse quarterback than Dillon Gabriel, who was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Two days and 102 picks into the 2025 NFL draft, everyone is trying to figure out what has happened that led to Shedeur Sanders not being selected by a team at this point.

Shedeur Sanders came into the 2025 NFL Draft regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects, but as the draft heads into its fourth round Saturday, the former Colorado star is still waiting to hear his name called.
