Shedeur Sanders’ shocking fall in the 2025 NFL Draft was one of the wildest storylines from this past weekend. Many have speculated why the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback became a Day 3 selection, including Skip Bayless. The longtime sports commentator was all over social media and exhausted every possible thought, but one stuck out as odd.
Bayless accused Tom Brady of discouraging the Las Vegas Raiders from taking Sanders when he started to fall. The controversy has left everyone confused, but to say the NFL legend would outright ban the team doesn't make sense. The former New England Patriots QB and minority owner of the Raiders has worked to mentor Sanders since he was in high school.
It is now pretty clear Tom Brady - who mentored Shedeur - told the Raiders NOT to take Shedeur. Duly noted, Bayless wrote on X (Formerly Twitter).
The Raiders were widely believed to be one of the few options for Sanders. Even after trading for veteran quarterback Geno Smith, 'Grown' would've been a good backup and has a preexisting relationship with the journeyman passer. Not to mention, Las Vegas brings renewed optimum with Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly together to lead the offense. Smith is not a long-term solution and they still need a quarterback of the future.
Sanders goes to Cleveland as part of a stacked QB room. The Browns took him with the No. 144 pick in the draft, ending the slide after once being considered the top prospect on the board. Sanders’ determination and talent suggest that this setback may simply be the beginning of a much bigger comeback story.
