- Cleveland Browns. Shedeur Sanders flounders in Cleveland: The Browns have the door open to trading one of their QBs
- Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady shuts down rumors and delivers pointed advice to Shedeur Sanders after draft slide
Shedeur Sanders has been all over the NFL headlines in recent weeks, and it's no surprise: His surprising drop in the 2025 Draft sparked a whirlwind of controversy and speculation.
Seen as an elite talent, with projections placing him among the top quarterbacks available, he was predicted to go in the top five picks.
Sanders suffered an unexpected fall when he was selected in the fifth round, 144th pick, by the Cleveland Browns, sparking intense debate about the reasons behind his collapse.
For his part, it's obvious at this point that Shedeur knows he did something wrong, but it seems he's already found someone to blame for his downfall.
This debate has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some pointing to Shedeur's selfish behavior, while others also point to his father, Deion.
Shedeur Sanders its he received a lot of hate because of his father
That's right, in Shedeur's own words, he has pointed to his father, Deion Sanders, as the main reason for all the ridicule, memes, and his fall in the NFL Draft.
"99% of the hate is on Pops. I'm just his son, so that's really why, and I told him that. ... It's the older generations that do it to me, not the young ones, because when I go in person, I don't see any negativity, but it's everywhere on the Internet," Shedeur said in a flash interview at the Browns' minicamp.
And that's not all. It seems that Shedeur wants to win over the young NFL audience, as he itted that it is a challenge to meet the younger generations so they can get to know him personally, as they may not know who he is due to his father's fame.
Shedeur Sanders wants to make his own way in the NFL, away from his father's influence, and is looking to prove himself in his rookie year. However, he will have a lot to prove as many of his critics and haters will be watching his every move from now on.
This season with the Cleveland Browns, he will have to earn his place, which seems difficult given the high level of competition among quarterbacks, but he will appreciate every lesson learned in this new season as a rookie.
