Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has made the final decision about hearing his name called in Green Bay at the 2025 NFL draft.

Sanders, who is expected to be among the top picks, was asked in an interview with Overtime if he will be in Green Bay for the big day.

With just over two months until the 2025 NFL Draft, fans shouldn’t expect to see him on stage at all.

Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Deion Sanders and a projected top-10 pick, said in the interview that he wouldn’t be attending the draft in person so that he could spend the day with the people who have supported him on his football journey.

A lot of draft picks have chosen this route in recent years, most notably after 2020 since everyone was forced to stay away from each other due to the Global Pandemic.

Shedeur Sanders says he will likely host an event in Colorado or Dallas the day of the draft.

“We plan on doing it, like an event thing, and where it’ll be fun,” Sanders said. “It’ll be more family, friends be able to come because the only thing with going to the draft is just I want to spend those moments with my people. You gotta think, having everybody come out there, bro, it’s going to be so expensive. Cost-wise, you saving a lot of money. You get to be around your people and all that.
