Brett Favre sends message to Shedeur Sanders after Colorado QB’s unprecedented draft slide on Day 2

Shedeur Sanders is continuing to slide down the Draft order, much to the shock of everyone who had projected him as a first-rounder whether it be in the Top 3/5 or the early 20s. Nevertheless, Brett Favre is imploring him to keep his head up.

On Friday, teams throughout the league snubbed the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback in Rounds 2 and 3. Most notably, Louisville’s Tyler Shough, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel went Nos. 40, 92, and 94 with the New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, and Cleveland Browns, respectively.

Taking to social media, the Hall of Famer narrated that becoming an elite player is defined by production, not placement – also giving a reminder that the Atlanta Falcons did not even want him when he himself was initially drafted, and that only being traded to the Green Bay Packers allowed him to realize his potential:

“Heck I didn’t care when I got drafted, I just wanted a team to give me a chance wherever I went.”
