Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said this week that he spoke with three different personnel people in the NFL that removed Sanders off their draft boards completely because the team owners made it clear they did not want him. "Shedeur Sanders just torpedoed himself," Esiason said.

Trump questioned whether NFL owners were "stupid" for not selecting the former University of Colorado quarterback in the first round.

Sanders was once projected to go as high as No. 1 overall, with No. 3 overall to the New York Giants seemingly as low as he could go.
