Shedeur's brother, Deion Sanders Jr., shared a post on X by former Eagles star LeSean McCoy, who mocked the Giants for their decision to take Dart.
Deion Jr. then re-shared several bible quotes he posted earlier Friday and sent a cryptic message that said, "The REJECTED WILL BE RESPECTED."
Broadcasts of the draft offered regular shots from inside the Sanders household in Texas as the family waited for Shedeur's name to be called.
At one point during the quarterback's slide, his other brother, NFL safety prospect Shilo Sanders, insisted "something is going on" with Shedeur not being selected.
"Bro, if they don't take you right now, it's something going on," Shilo said. "If they don't take him right now, it's something going on. I don't know what's going on, but it's something."
In footage posted by Deion Jr., Shedeur addressed not being taken in a speech to his family when the first night of the draft was over.
"Tomorrow's the day. We going to be happy regardless. Legendary."
Shedeur's NFL value was questioned in the weeks leading up to the draft amid concerns about his character.
"He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates," the coach added. "But the biggest thing is he's not that good."
Another longtime AFC executive echoed that sentiment, telling the outlet, "It didn't go great in our interview. He wants to dictate what he's going to do and what's best for him. He makes you feel small."
