The incessant harping on Shedeur Sanders may have turned off a lot of folks, but it apparently didn't make them turn off their televisions or streaming devices.
The 2025 NFL Draft was not without its drama, and that was reflected in the ratings. ESPN released its draft weekend viewer stats for its studio show coverage, and those numbers are way up from 2024. Friday's NFL Live coverage on ESPN was up 25 percent year-to-year, while College Gameday spiked up 44 percent. That was the "Day of Sanders", with both shows (I watched both at several points throughout Friday) laser-focused on the travails of the Colorado QB and his celebrity coach father remaining undrafted.
