Shedeur Sanders Finally Selected By Cleveland Browns After Falling To Fifth Round Of NFL Draft

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was finally selected by the Cleveland Browns in Saturday’s fifth round of the NFL draft.

Sanders was expected to be picked in the first round. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Sanders as his top quarterback prospect.

“We all didn’t expect this, of course,” Sanders said in a video posted to social media. “But I feel like with god, anything’s possible.”

Sanders entered the draft coming off a prolific 2024 season. He threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and just ten interceptions. He completed 74% of his passes.

Coming into the draft, Sanders was one of the most highly debated prospects. Some thought he was the top overall player in the draft, while others didn’t believe he was a first-round talent.

The New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants were the teams most believed Sanders would land.

The Saints and Steelers elected not to draft a quarterback, while the Giants traded up to the No. 25 spot in the draft to take Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart instead.
