There was nothing anonymous about the fall of the fall of the first round of the NFL 2025 draft.
Arguffy, the most polyzing university field marshal from Johnny Manziel in 2014, a helpless Sanders and the rest of the NFL world observed together the night of the day while all their possible suitors passed.
And then, the giants, the team that spent more time with him and those who showed the most favoritism, passed for the second time, with the additional insult of exchanging for the field marshal Jaxson Dart.
“I am built for whatever you bring today,” Sanders wrote on Twitter in the day.
Well, he was certainly tested by the agony that he developed while standing next to his father, a member of the Hall of Fame and his coach of high school and university, Deion Sanders, at his Draft party in Texas.
“We all expected this, of course,” Sanders told his family and friends after not being selected, according to a video posted on social networks. “But I feel that, with God, everything is possible. Everything is possible. I do not feel that this has happened without reason. All this is, of course, fuel for fire. We all know that this should happen.”
Sanders’ strengths (hardness, precision and a story of changing the losing programs in Jackson State and Colorado) and weaknesses (average athletics and strength of the arm) in the field are half of the story.
Sanders’ shameless nature rubbed an NFL staff in the wrong way of the duration of the predecence process, including a meeting with the chief coach of the giants, Brian Daboll, who went to the south, according to the draft of the analyst Todd McShay.
Reports arose that some teams suspended Sanders was trying to dictate their destiny by not giving everything in some interviews, which certainly failed if it is true.
Once upon a time, Deion even said they were certain organizations for those who would not allow their child to play, without anticipating such desperate times.
The anonymous citations that criticize Sanders, something with which many perspectives have to deal with every year because team staff often cannot share honest (good or bad) evaluations without fear of the reaction of their organizations, became a matter of equity in the media.
There were teams that had Sanders in the early conversation to be the No. 1 selection last fall. But it was clear last week that falling into the second round was a realistic scenario in the worst case.
“It is not surprising at all,” said an NFL executive to the post after the first round ended. “I think the same feeling was shared by many teams.”
Once the giants went to Sanders to Borry Abdul Carter, considered by some explorers as the best player of the Draft class, with selection No. 3, the wait was underway.
The Raiders are partly owned and operated by the Great Time Tom Brady, one of Sanders’ greatest mentors with the Ashton Jeanty corridor in number 6, and the Saints went with the offensive Tackle Kelvin Banks in number 9.
But the first real stunner was when the Steelers, who are still waiting to see if the free agent Aaron Rodgers will play this season or retire before his 42nd birthday, will pass in favor of the Defensive Tackle Derrick in the No. 21.
Steelers have Mason Rudolph in a headline as their owner and do not have a second round selection (thanks to DK Metcalf Trade) to address quartback.
The chargers and the Packers ran through the watches at number 22 and number 23, respectively, while receiving commercial calls from the giants and others.

When the giants attacked their trade with the Texans to move from No. 34 to No. 25, it was for Dart, who advanced to Sanders in the draft of the giants earlier this week after all private training were complete.
If there is any comfort for Sanders, it is that the Browns, without quarterback of the future, have two of the first four selections in the second round.
His internal field marshal options are Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, while Deshaun Watson is injured, and Watson could have played his last click for the Browns anyway.
The Raiders (No. 37), Saints (No. 40) and Jets (No. 42) could be other options.
“We are in bigger and better things,” Sanders said. “[Friday] It is the day. We will be happy anyway. “
