After Sheder Sanders fell from the first Tour of the NFL 2025 draft, some were surprised – but most were not shocked – to think that the quarter -back of Colorado could end up with a second round choice. However, as day 2 of the draft advanced, Sanders was passed over and again, and the realization finally placed since his slide would not end on Friday evening.
In total, three quarters -rear – Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel – were selected in Tour 2-3 with Sanders still waiting to hear his name called the draft goes to day 3 on Saturday. This has aroused speculation about the question of whether the Sanders camp had started to tell the teams not to write it, because even the most critical assessors would have expected a team to take a third round leaflet on him.
Among the questions raised, he could put Sanders back to university football for one more season in Colorado, because he had another year of eligibility before declaring the project. The short answer: no. Once a player declares for the draft of the NFL, he lost the rest of his eligibility in college, according to the Nfl University Advisory Committee).
Participation in the project means that a subclass loses its remaining eligibility: if it is not selected by a NFL teamHe will not be able to play another university season and he will not be able to improve his draft for the draft of the following year.
Now there are nothing participants in college athletics adore more than going to court, so maybe Sanders could continue to try to find his eligibility. We have seen the Sue subclasses for the right to leave school early – Maurice Clarett of Ohio State, for example – but never return to university football. Short of this, his university career is over, whether written or not.
Beyond the legal impossibility, Sanders’ slide does not look like the kind of thing that another year of band would resolve. Falling from the first round in daytime 2 was justifiable according to the concerns related to football, but once he fell outside the 102 choices, it becomes clear that there was more in history. His slide seems less on the performance on the field and more on the teams that do not want to give him the keys to their franchise for other reasons.
And if he came back, Colorado should withdraw his jersey.
It would be a bit annoying.
