Sanders was the 144th pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, a surprising slide down the boards for what was considered by many a first round pick.

"This is a repudiation by the NFL of how Shedeur Sanders and those around him handled the entire NFL Draft process," Jones said. "What you're not going to tell me -- or really anyone who watches football -- is that Shedeur Sanders is a worse quarterback than Dillon Gabriel, who was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Widely considered a first-round talent, Coach Prime’s highly touted son remains on the board after three rounds and 102 picks as his stunning slide continues.
