Tom Brady says he texted Shedeur Sanders after he slipped to Round 5: “Day 2 matters more than the NFL Draft. 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.” 🐐

Future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady knows what it’s like to wait your turn in the NFL Draft, and he sent some encouragement Shedeur Sanders‘ way after his 2025 NFL Draft slide.
Sanders eventually landed in the fifth round with the Cleveland Browns last month, and he dedicated his rookie number to Brady with the No 12.
On the recent IMPAULSIVE podcast, Brady explained how he reached out to Sanders to offer him some words of wisdom and support after his surprise draft drop.
“Day 2 matters more than the draft,” Brady said on the show. “I was 199. So, who can speak on it better than me, like what that really means. Use it as motivation. You’re gonna get your chances. Go take advantage of it.”
Some NSFW language to follow.
Say what you will about Brady, but this was a classy move from the goat about a situation he knows all too well.
