As the 2025 NFL Draft unfolded, few storylines were as gripping—or confusing—as the unexpected slide of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Once projected as a top pick, the Buffaloes’ star watched as name after name passed him by. Now, he’s speaking out—and not holding back.
“I just feel like people that are just being jailed for something they ain’t doing, bro,” Shedeur said. “And like, there’s no explaining, there’s no talking about it, reasoning.”
A Quarterback in Control
Shedeur wasn’t just another college quarterback—he was the face of the Buffaloes’ revival. In 2024, he threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, all while playing behind one of the nation’s most pressured offensive lines. So when the draft boards cooled on him, the confusion was real—not just for him, but for fans and analysts alike.
Meme Culture and Misunderstanding
As the draft weekend stretched on, social media exploded with memes mocking Shedeur’s supposed behavior in pre-draft meetings. “Bro, it’d be funny, some of them memes, though,” he said. “I went in the meeting. Like, who was it, Bobby Shmurda? He was on the table?… They said that’s how Shedeur was pulling up to the visits.” The viral content painted him as cocky, unserious, or even confrontational—but Sanders insists the narrative couldn’t be further from the truth.
Perception vs. Reality
Whether it was his confidence, family background, or just the noise surrounding Deion Sanders’ high-profile program, Shedeur became a lightning rod. His draft fall wasn’t based on performance—he had a 74.0% completion rate in 2024 and led multiple game-winning drives. Instead, the gap between public perception and private meetings may have told a different story.
For Buffaloes fans, Shedeur’s story is a reminder: the draft doesn’t always measure greatness, and narratives—true or not—spread fast. What he needs now isn’t more memes. It’s belief. Let the league sleep. Colorado remembers.
