Before Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft kicked off, President Donald Trump weighed in on the debate surrounding Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The president posted on Truth Social in support of the Colorado prospect and son of Deion Sanders, questioning if NFL owners are "stupid" for passing on him.

During his first term, President Donald Trump periodically poked and prodded pro football over topics from health and safety to the national anthem. During his second term, he has voiced strenuous objection, so far, only to the so-called dynamic kickoff.
