For football fans—whether it's college or professional—the night of the NFL Draft is a must-watch event. It’s a life-changing evening for the players fortunate enough to hear their names called. These athletes are not just fulfilling a dream; they’re also securing the financial means to support their families.
This year’s draft is expected to be just as wild as always. There's already a lot of buzz about potential trades that could shake up the entire night. The unpredictability and excitement of the draft never disappoints, and this year should be no exception.
So far, Shedeur Sanders has been a major talking point as the draft gets underway. The Colorado quarterback has a wide range of possible outcomes—anywhere from an early first-round selection to possibly falling out of the first round entirely. Adam Schefter shared his thoughts, saying:
“It certainly feels like his range ... is three to 21, and I don't like the chances of him going nine,” Schefter said.
Meanwhile, another projected first-round pick, Matthew Golden, shared a heartfelt story ahead of the draft—one that speaks volumes about his character and priorities.
“Definitely get my grandma a house, man," Golden said. "We lost our property a couple of years ago. That's somewhere I grew up when I was younger. It'd be a blessing to be able to get that back for my family.”

Golden’s focus is on giving back to his loved ones, determined to create a sense of home again for his family. Any team that drafts Golden will be getting a player defined by loyalty and heart. The Texas wide receiver is projected to go to the Packers.
While many players look forward to buying things for themselves, Golden has his sights set on providing for his family. His goal isn’t just about football success—it’s about building a lasting future for the people who supported him.
