ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. got downright weird ― or weirder, in his mostly likable way ― as Sanders slid past the Steelers at No. 21, then the Giants at No. 25 (after they traded back into the first round for Mississippi quarterback Jaxson Dart), and all the way to Friday’s Day 2 of the draft.

The NFL is reportedly investigating the prank call Shedeur Sanders received as he slid to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft. As Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk explained, Sanders—who was eventually drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns—said he received a phone directly from the NFL to use during the draft.
