Trump questioned whether NFL owners were "stupid" for not selecting the former University of Colorado quarterback in the first round.

The fall of Shedeur Sanders down the 2025 NFL Draft order was the talk of the weekend, even inspiring President Donald Trump to make an intervention, firing off a social media post blasting teams for not taking the Colorado quarterback.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt believes Sanders might have slipped even further in the draft if not for a social media post by President Donald Trump. On Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Shedeur Sanders was set for “greatness” and should be “picked immediately by a team that wants to win.”
