Shedeur Sanders appeared to receive a phone call during Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft from someone telling him to "wait a little longer." A Twitch stream video shows a group excitedly gathering as Sanders answered the phone on Friday night. When asked if they overheard the call, the people near Sanders said, "They said you're gonna have to wait a little longer."

"I don't know what that was. Nobody's got this number, though. Nobody.

This is a private number," Sanders said. Sanders, originally projected as a first-round pick, had yet to hear his name called by the time the third round began on Friday night. The signal caller was originally projected as the No.

23 overall prospect and No. 2 quarterback available on the final B/R 2025 NFL Draft Big Board. Miami's Cam Ward, Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart and Louisville's Tyler Shough were the only quarterbacks to hear their names called through the first two rounds of the NFL draft.

Sanders said Thursday night that his slide out of the first round had added "fuel to the fire." "Under no circumstances— we all know this shouldn't have happened. But we understand we're on to bigger and better things.

Tomorrow's the day," Sanders said Thursday. Sanders and his brothers, Shilo Sanders and Deion Sanders Jr., announced through Well Off Media that they would be livestreaming the entirety of the draft. Their setup included a custom draft room stocked with hats from all 32 teams.

The former Colorado quarterback will hope to get the chance to don one of those hats before Round 3 ends on Friday night. Sanders led the FBS with a 74.0 completion percentage while recording 4,134 passing yards for 37 touchdowns with 10 interceptions during his senior season at Colorado.
