Shedeur Sanders‘ name wasn’t called in the first 32 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft … and the quarterback got through the long night with some music — taking the stage and putting on a show in front of all his loved ones.
The former Colorado Buffaloes star — who was ranked highly among this year’s prospects — did a rendition of his song, “Perfect Timing” at his gathering in Texas on Thursday … and it’s clear the unexpected outcome didn’t kill his vibe.

The setup included Sanders’ Hall of Famer pops/longtime coach Deion Sanders, family and friends … as well as a massive cake and a hat for each team that could end up being his future employer.
Shedeur also addressed everyone in attendance … admitting it wasn’t the outcome they expected, but God has a plan for him — and he called the situation “fuel to the fire.”

23-year-old Shedeur will have to wait until Friday to figure out where his first pro home will be … and it’s clear whoever ends up taking him will get a guy with a chip on his shoulder.
Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday night … and it’s a safe bet Shedeur’s wait will finally be over.
