Claiming emotional distress, a football fan has filed a long-shot lawsuit seeking punitive damages for Shedeur Sanders draft pick.

Regardless of how his NFL career pans out, the Shedeur Sanders slide in the 2025 NFL draft will be remembered as one of the most shocking storylines to ever come out of the event. Never before have football fans seen a prospect fall so dramatically relative to predraft expectations without an obvious reason why.

However, one Trump critic, who you’d think would blame race for Sanders’ draft fall, believes his drop was more straightforward than that, and less shades of Colin Kaepernick, who has been blackballed by the league.
