- Cleveland Browns. Shedeur Sanders' NFL Draft slide: A quarterback gamble that may backfire in Cleveland
- Cleveland Browns. Browns coach has clear idea about his QB options: A boost for Shedeur Sanders?
Shedeur Sanders had a surprisingly long wait during the 2025 Draft. It finally ended when the Cleveland Browns selected him in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick, one of the event's most unexpected twists.
During his time at the University of Colorado, Sanders set an FBS record with a 71.8% completion rate in two seasons, throwing for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Expectations were high, but tragedy struck at the NFL Draft.
He was expected to be one of the top 10 picks, so no one saw it coming. The two days of uncertainty were especially hard on him and his family, who became the target of viral jokes and cruel comments on social media. Even a prank call that went viral ended with the pranksters being publicly identified.
After a rollercoaster ride, Shedeur Sanders is starting over with the Cleveland Browns. The road ahead will not be easy, but he is determined to prove his worth through hard work and perseverance.
Competition for the quarterback position in Cleveland will be fierce. Sanders will have to compete against veterans such as Deshaun Watson and Joe Flacco, as well as Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.
Deion Sanders Jr. is taking advantage of the situation to make money
That's right; you read that correctly. Sanders's older brother will exploit this for monetary gain. On his Instagram , he showed off a business venture: a hoodie with the number 144 (alluding to Shedeur's draft pick), which will be available for purchase soon.
The website is shop2legendary.com, and some items are visible in the menus. It seems like it's only a matter of time before the hoodie officially goes on sale.
There is no set date yet, so we'll see if he decides to go ahead with it. Many have begun to wonder if Shedeur approved the sale of merchandise like this. While it could be upsetting to his younger brother, if Deion felt free to share this, there must be some kind of agreement between them.
