Tom Pelissero· Apr 25, 2025
Pelissero predicted Shedeur Sanders would be drafted on Day 2 (rounds two or three), suggesting the Steelers' third-round pick could be his floor, and that all the remaining quarterbacks would come off the board that night. He also said the Jaguars will start Travis Hunter in the wide receiver room.
“I believe Sanders gets drafted today. I believe that somewhere along rounds two and three his name comes off the board.”
