Deion Sanders Criticizes Dan Orlovsky Over Shedeur's Draft Comments

Shedeur Sanders, once projected as a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, went undrafted in the first round, sparking debate among analysts and fans. ESPN's Dan Orlovsky pointed to Sanders' tendency to take unnecessary sacks as a key reason for his slide, prompting Deion Sanders to publicly accuse Orlovsky of being a 'hater.' Despite the criticism, Orlovsky maintained that his job is to highlight both strengths and weaknesses, and he remains optimistic about Sanders' prospects in the second round. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who had been linked to Sanders, instead selected defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, surprising many, including Orlovsky, who questioned the team's quarterback strategy. Several teams, such as the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints, are seen as potential landing spots for Sanders in the second round, given their uncertain long-term situations at quarterback. Fans have reacted strongly to both Orlovsky's analysis and the unexpected draft results, fueling ongoing discussion about Sanders' future.
