- NFL. Shedeur Sanders' real problem lies with the Cleveland Browns: Is he risking a year without playing?
The 2025 NFL Draft was expected to be a historic one for former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who had once been projected as a potential top-three selection.
Instead, Sanders experienced one of the most dramatic falls in recent draft memory, slipping all the way to the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns scooped him up with the No. 144 overall pick.
For brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, Sanders' unexpected landing spot sparked a ionate discussion on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.
While the NFL world debated why Sanders had fallen so far, the Kelce brothers were locked in on what the Browns may have gained.
"I love this for Cleveland, god I love this for Cleveland," Travis said. "I really do man. The Browns fan deep down in my heart is just like f*** yeah. You get a swag champ that works his ass off that has something to prove now-not that he didn't before, but he's got that chip on his shoulder, I'm sure, because of how much he's dropped."
Jason agreed, noting that Sanders will now carry a huge chip with him into the league.
"How could you not," Jason said. "If you're at all a self-confident person who believes in themselves, and you're touted by a lot of people, and you have the college career that he had, how could you not be upset that you fell this far?
"Still should be happy that you're in the NFL, but there's a lot of quarterbacks that were taken above him. There's a quarterback that the Browns selected above him: Dillon Gabriel was selected in the third round."
Travis blasts anonymous criticism
Reports from anonymous NFL executives suggested that Shedeur's pre-draft interviews went poorly, and that teams quietly removed him from their boards. That idea didn't sit well with Travis.
"I think whoever's the fing anonymous person that's fing saying this should fing come out and say who they were. Like what the f is that about," Travis said.
"If you're gonna fing leak that type of st, fing be the one that says 'yeah it just didn't go well for us' don't fing say that we're anonymous, that's so f**ing lame. I don't know I just feel like there's no validity to it. I'm not sure why he dropped, I'm not sure whether it was the interviews or whether it was stuff they saw on film. What I saw on film, I thought he was a way higher pick and I think that's all that should matter.
"It doesn't seem like he's a terrible person, it just seems like he's a motivated football player that's a part of a big football family, and him and his father have kinda taken over the NCAA football for the past 3-4 years... I can see him working his ass off and becoming the starting quarterback in Cleveland at some point."
