Even if you're one of the biggest Shedeur Sanders haters out there, even you can agree that this is beyond messed up. Thus far in the NFL Draft, nothing has gone to plan for the Colorado Buffaloes superstar. At one point, it looked like Sanders would be a Top 5 pick.
However, his stock has taken an unimaginable tumble, as he didn't hear his name called in the first or second round. As of this writing, it's totally unknown if he'll even get picked up in the third round, which is something we thought would be impossible.
Sanders and his friends/family are patiently waiting for the phone to ring. Well, it did and it looked like he was finally going to have his NFL dreams come true. Instead, it was a prank call, with someone pulling a fast one on the signal-caller. This is just over the top and not funny at all:
Nah this is messed up. Someone prank called Shedeur and pretending to be a NFL team telling him he had to "wait a little longer."pic.twitter.com/3VjBHy2hCW

Shedeur Sanders' NFL Draft nightmare was made worse with a terrible prank call
You've really got to feel terrible for Sanders. No one expected him to fall like this. Even Nick Saban said he felt bad for him. To have the phone ring, though, think you're about to get the news you were waiting for and then realize it was just some moron having some fun - yeah, it's infuriating.
Sometimes, it's easy to forget that Sanders is still just a 23-year-old kid with the rest of his life ahead of him. He's been an easy target for people who have a problem with Deion Sanders, but the standout quarterback shouldn't be kicked while he's down like this.
Soon enough, we can only hope that this painful wait will come to an end for the QB. You can say what you want about him, but making things worse for Shedeur like this was 100 percent out of line. Shame on whoever made the call for this pathetic and immature move.
