Shedeur Sanders saw his long wait come to an end on Saturday, as the Cleveland Browns took the Colorado star quarterback in the 5th round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Sanders’ teammate, Travis Hunter, didn’t have to wait nearly as long as the two-way player and Heisman Trophy winner was picked 2nd overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. Many figured that Sanders would hear his name shortly thereafter.
Then Thursday passed, then Friday, and speculation began to grow as to why Sanders had dropped so far and when he’d eventually come off the board. On Saturday, with the 144th overall pick, and with the 6th pick of the 5th round, he became a Cleveland Brown, even after the team took Dillon Gabriel in the 3rd round.
The Browns, one of the most tortured franchises in the NFL (and in all of pro sports, for that matter), still have troubled QB Deshaun Watson under contract. But an Achilles tear means he’ll be out a while if he even does play in 2025. Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are the Browns’ other 2 signal callers right now.
How will Sanders turn out at the next level? We’ll find out soon. Meanwhile, here’s how social media reacted to his selection:
Shedeur leading the Browns to their first Super Bowl win will be cinema dog I can’t wait
— Martin Dorsey (@DJ_MartyMart) April 26, 2025Major blessings to Shedeur and his career with the Browns. Salute to him. Can’t nobody stop greatness! ???
— BEYONCÉ SAID MY NAME ? (@melanatedlex) April 26, 2025Worth observing that if the feared circus around Shedeur Sanders never materializes, and if he shows he can play, he’ll be worth far more to another team than a 5th round pick even if he isn’t the Browns’ answer at QB. Good upside w/ minimal downside = good value in the 5th.
— Memo_B_Random (@Memo_B_Random) April 26, 2025Shedeur about to put up numbers nobody ever seen for playing with him?
— kaykay (@kaysscene) April 26, 2025I would be fine taking Shedeur today if they hadn’t take Gabriel yesterday. They wasted that 94th pick.
— Allen (@AllenIn2112) April 26, 2025Shedeur will be drafted higher in fantasy than the actual NFL draft
— Max Knight (@max_knight10) April 26, 2025Cleveland made Shedeur wait all that and he’s gonna be the day 1 starter lol
— Gordon Cozier (@Grindtime_O) April 26, 2025Opportunity is there, Shedeur can win that Cleveland job, plus his perception will change with some after what happened, gonna make Browns a must watch to see what happens.

— Řõððïę (@Its_Roddie) April 26, 2025I feel bad for all the players who just had their big moment being completely ignored as ESPN and NFL Network take a victory lap for Shedeur
