Shedeur Sanders Finally Selected on Third Day of NFL Draft, Picked By Browns​on April 26, 2025 at 6:19 pm

The wait is over for Shedeur Sanders — after going unselected in the first two days of the 2025 NFL Draft, Deion’s son finally has an NFL home with the Cleveland Browns.

The former Colorado quarterback was the 144th overall pick … making him a fifth-round selection.

Shedeur seemed relieved once his name was called … which is understandable, considering many thought he’d be off the board in the first.

Remember, the 23-year-old QB was believed to be highly coveted talent … and at one point, got chatter as a potential top-five pick.

Even his father, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, believed he’d go that high — and the family threw a huge draft party on Thursday, where Shedeur ended the night with a music performance.

That night, Sanders said falling out of the first round added “more fuel to the fire” and that “tomorrow is the day, we’re going to be happy regardless.”

Well, Friday wasn’t his day either … but the anticipation ended once and for all on Saturday.

Sanders’ drop is the biggest storyline of the draft … and some resorted to speculating whether NFL owners were colluding against him.

President Donald Trump even weighed in on Sanders on Friday … saying owners were “STUPID” to pass on him.

Sanders joins a pretty crowded QB room — the Orange and Brown currently have Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, the latter being taken in the third round on Friday.

Sanders began his football career at Jackson State … racking up 70 passing touchdowns over his freshman and sophomore seasons.
