Shedeur Sanders' private number was leaked which led to a prank phone call from someone claiming to be the Saints general manager telling Sanders New Orleans was going to draft him.

Travis Hunter was the headliner at No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while LaJohntay Wester (No. 203 overall to the Baltimore Ravens) and Jimmy Horn Jr. (No. 208 overall to the Carolina Panthers) went in the sixth round.

In more ways than one, Shedeur Sanders' draft experience largely told the tale of the 2025 NFL Draft. While 32 deserving players were selected on Day 1, Sanders and a bevy of other talented prospects had to wait one or even two extra days before hearing their names called.
