The Shedeur Sanders slide was the story of the 2025 NFL Draft, as one of the top quarterback prospects in this class fell all the way to the fifth round. While the fall was shocking, it doesn't matter whether you're the No. 1 overall pick or "Mr. Irrelevant." It matters how you perform on the field.

As Shedeur Sanders waited to hear his name called in the NFL draft, he got some words of advice from someone who knows a thing or two about falling in the draft. Tom Brady said on the IMPAULSIVE podcast that he texted Sanders to give him some words of encouragement during his unexpected slide in the NFL draft.
