Shedeur Sanders continued to slide in the NFL Draft on Friday - with the former Colorado quarterback not selected in either the second or third round.

Sanders was projected to be a top-five pick, so the fact he was overlooked in the first round was the biggest surprise of day one of the draft.

The 23-year-old was then expected to be picked up early on day two of the three-day event in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Sanders was previously favourite to be the first pick of this year's draft but after 102 picks overall, he remains available.

It is now arguably the most dramatic draft slide in NFL history, with all 32 teams having now ed on Sanders multiple times.

In a social media post after the first round, US President Donald Trump said: "What is wrong with NFL owners - are they stupid">
