Tom Brady’s Las Vegas Raiders passed on Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft, aiding the quarterback’s slide as he slipped all the way to Day 3, finally getting that call in the fifth round.

The Raiders, despite their Geno Smith acquisition, were among the likely destinations for the former Colorado Buffaloes star. But they chose to go in another direction, making little fuss of his availability, even while he continued to drop.

Brady and Sanders have a very good relationship, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner serving as a mentor to the younger QB. While the Raiders, in which Brady owns an ownership stake, opted not to draft Shedeur, the future Hall of Famer had some words of encouragement for him.

Brady was a guest on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast this week and revealed what he said to Sanders after he slipped out of the first round.

“Day 2 matters more than the NFL Draft,” he said after insisting that he was not involved in the Raiders’ evaluation process. “I was 199. Who can speak on it better than me? Use it as motivation. You’re gonna get your chances… go take advantage of it.”

If Day 2 matters more, Day 3 should be even more critical. It’s when Shedeur was picked, going No. 144 overall to the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns were not among Shedeur’s preferred destinations, with the New York Giants and Raiders his choice landing spots. Even so, he’s chuffed to get an opportunity with the Dawg Pound after his father made it clear that there were certain teams he would not let his sons play for.
