The quarterback had to wait until the fifth round to be drafted. He now has to fight for his place on the Browns and prove those who briefed against him wrongWith the 144th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 draft, the Cleveland Browns ended Shedeur Sanders’ precipitous slide down the board, and gave him an NFL home.This was not at all what anybody outside the league expected.

2 w. ago Shedeur Sanders’s fall exposed the cruel heart of the NFL draft industry | Oliver Connolly

There are valid arguments for the quarterback falling out of the first round. But it came after anonymous backstabs and the harsh glare of the spotlightThe NFL draft can be cruel. Shedeur Sanders, a polarizing prospect in a weak class whose profile was magnified by the fact that he is the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, had to sit and wait for his name to be called in Thursday night’s first round. He waited. And waited. By night’s end, Sanders had fallen out of the first round entirely.Only two quarterbacks were selected on Thursday. After Miami’s Cam Ward was selected No 1 overall, the QB-needy teams at the top of the board opted to punt on quarterbacks in favor of chasing defensive studs or linemen who could protect their eventual starter.

3 w. ago NFL scouting is broken. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is all the proof you need | Andrew Lawrence

The son of Coach Prime has the production, pedigree and poise to lead a franchise. But he challenges the prototype of what an NFL quarterback is supposed to look and act likeNFL scouting is broken, and Shedeur Sanders is the proof. Everything about him screams future star quarterback, and yet teams would sooner assume the worst.Make no mistake: there is no prospect in this year’s draft who is better equipped to turn around a struggling franchise than the 23-year-old Texan, a savior to not one but two college fanbases.
