Deion Sanders calls out Dan Orlovsky over Shedeur Sanders take as QB slides in NFL draft

Dan Orlovsky’s latest take on Shedeur Sanders didn’t go unnoticed by the quarterback’s Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders.

When discussing the polarizing prospect on Thursday night during ESPN’s 2025 NFL Draft coverage, Orlovsky called attention to critical sacks Sanders took during games, expressing how plays such as those could contribute to a first-round slide.

“If Shedeur doesn’t go early tonight — plays like these, I believe, will be a reason why and what he will have to work on in,” Orlovsky posted to X, which garnered the attention of both a fan and the elder Sanders.

When the X user replied, “Turned into a hater. Hate to see it man,” Deion quote-tweeted the post and stated, “Yes he did! Wow.”

Orlovsky, a former NFL quarterback who has vocally backed Sanders, 23, in the past, responded to the fan in question and stated how it’s his job to “point out the good and bad” in prospective players.

“I’ve said endlessly I like Shedeur. I’ve done a flaws tape for all top QBs every year. Same this year,” he wrote.

When the fan countered, “If we put [Ole Miss QB] Jaxson Dart on that Colorado team is he doing the same thing Shedeur did????” Orlovsky vouched for Sanders, who was sacked 42 times last season.

“Probably no. But that doesn’t make me a hater. I like shedeur. Done a lot to highlight the things he does well. Said he’s a first round pick. Hope he is,” the ESPN personality said.

Miami’s Cam Ward was the only quarterback to hear his name called within the first 24 picks as the тιтans made the long-awaited call to select him first overall.

There had been speculation Shedeur Sanders could be taken by the Steelers in the first round. AP

The Steelers, who had been heavily linked to Sanders, opted to pick Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon at No. 21.

Sanders had yet to be selected 28 picks into the draft.

The Giants, also linked to Sanders, selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with pick No. 3.

They traded back into the first round with pick No. 25 for Dart.

Sanders, who saw former Colorado teammate Travis Hunter go second overall to the Jaguars following a blockbuster trade with the Browns, posted Thursday on X, “I’m built for whatever today may bring.”

Orlovsky said Thursday night he was “surprised” Pittsburgh pᴀssed on Sanders.
