Shedeur Sanders was having a difficult enough time during the 2025 NFL Draft as he to slid down the board before finally getting selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round on Saturday.
As if that disappointment and embarrassment wasn't enough, the quarterback was also the target of a prank Friday night as Round 2 of the draft was progressing. Sanders took a call at the draft party hosted by his father and Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders, and Shedeur talked to someone who claimed to be New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.
The call was captured on video by Well Off Media, the YouTube channel run by Deion Sanders Jr., the older brother of Shedeur. What appears to be a call from the Saints and the subsequent conversation begins at the 10:15 mark.
"This is Mickey Loomis here, GM of the Saints," said the person on the other line. "It’s been a long wait, man. We’re gonna take you with our next pick right here, man."
Going with what he apparently believes is a legitimate call, Sanders responded, "Yes, sir — let's be legendary."
The timing of the call seemed to add some validity as it came while the Saints were on the clock for selection No. 40. New Orleans had also been one of the teams projected to be interested in Sanders with quarterback being a serious need.
However, the farce quickly ended.
"But you’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man. Sorry about that," the caller said, then hung up.
