Shedeur Sanders selected by Cleveland Browns after falling to fifth round of NFL draft
The Cleveland Browns selected Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the 144th pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, a surprising slide down the boards for what was considered by many a first-round lock.
Sanders was a lightning rod of a prospect during draft season. While many projected him as a first-round selection — anywhere as high as No. 3 to the New York Giants or to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 — he went undrafted on the first two nights.
Ultimately, Sanders was selected in the fifth round by Cleveland. Five quarterbacks — Miami’s Cam Ward, Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart, Louisville’s Tyler Shough, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel — went ahead of Sanders.
Minutes after the pick was made, Sanders posted to X, simply saying, “Thank you GOD.”
The Browns shortly after posted a sizzle reel of Sanders with the caption, “Another playmaker in the mix.”
