Shedeur Sanders was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th overall pick. The Browns traded up to get him, sending picks No. 166 and 192 to Seattle to secure the selection. Despite being projected as a first or second-round pick and considered one of the most precise quarterbacks in college football in 2024, Sanders experienced a significant drop on draft day. He was the sixth quarterback taken and was even selected after the Browns had already drafted another quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, in the third round.
