Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock started to take a tumble earlier this week, and on Thursday, the former Colorado quarterback went all night without hearing his name called in the first round.

Despite many feeling that he would go to Pittsburgh with the 21st overall pick, Sanders is still available for the Cleveland Browns to grab with the first pick of the second round.

It was a rather surprising outcome considering how much he was in the discussion to go No. 1 overall, and it’s safe to say that social media isn’t about to let him off the hook for it anytime soon.

Sanders plummet down draft boards had social media on fire well into the early hours of Friday morning, and here’s a look at some of the best reactions.

This message from Shedeur Sanders after going undrafted in the 1st round is exactly why he has the resolve, poise and maturity to lead an NFL Franchise. He didn’t hide. He stood tall in the face of adversity and disappointment. This adds to his testimony.
