But he was left disappointed and made to wait until Friday’s second and third round.
Much to almost everybody’s shock, Sanders continued to slide and wasn’t selected by the end of the night.
The 23-year-old finally had his moment on Saturday afternoon.
He was taken in the 5th round by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th overall pick.
He stands to lose more than $35 million in salary after sliding out of the first round.
The Cleveland Browns selected Mason Graham with the No. 5 overall pick Thursday.
Graham will earn $40.8 million over his rookie deal.
Sanders, meanwhile, will earn around $1.2 million a year – $4.8 million in total.
The Colorado Buffaloes star was tipped to be the second selected in his position behind No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
Ward will earn $48 million from the Tennessee Titans.
The Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 overall was thought to be a potential landing spot for him.
But Pittsburgh opted against signing the quarterback, son of NFL icon Deion.
But Jaxson Dart was also taken in the first round before three more signal callers were selected Friday.
Dart’s rookie deal for being the No. 25 pick is worth $17 million.
Sanders remained upbeat despite his two days of pain.
He sent a message Saturday morning on X.
“Another day another opportunity to get a chance to play the game I love,” it read.
“Thank you GOD #LEGENDARY.”
And Sanders finally got his NFL Draft moment with the Browns – two days after he expected.
