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.
