Cleveland Browns' Unexpected Draft Pick: QB Shedeur Sanders
The 2025 NFL Draft saw the Cleveland Browns pull off an unexpected move, snatching QB Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. Hardly predicted, Sanders was often considered a lock for the first round.
Browns fans are still puzzled as to why Sanders was overlooked by several teams, including the Browns themselves, who opted to draft QB Dillon Gabriel over him in the third round.
ESPN recently delved into this question in Adam Rittenberg's report, gathering opinions from coaches and coordinators at Power 4 schools. One of the questions they posed to these coaches was, "Why did QB Shedeur Sanders fall so far in the 2025 NFL Draft?"
A skeptical SEC defensive assistant raised doubts about the theories suggesting concerns about Sanders' demeanor. "People have taken a lot worse," this coach said, a suggestion that NFL teams have in the past overlooked common red flags such as off-field issues.
Although this comparison offers some insights, it does not explain the reason behind NFL teams consistently passing on Sanders.
Did Teams View Browns' QB Shedeur Sanders as a Distraction?
Some sources indicate that NFL teams may have perceived Sanders as a potential distraction with the media firestorm that his presence could create in a locker room. ESPN reported that a Big 12 coach opined that teams with a confirmed starter might have shied away from adding Sanders to their quarterback room given the ensuing media frenzy.
"Teams probably figure once it gets to this point, is it even worth dealing with anymore?" the coach said rhetorically. "... If you're not drafting the guy to be your starter, it really doesn't matter where you pick the guy," the coach added, using the Buccaneers' QB Baker Mayfield as an example.
Another coach echoed similar thoughts, suggesting that some teams may not need more quarterbacks. With Sanders set to battle for a spot in Cleveland's training camp, the forthcoming QB battle between him and other contestants will be a captivating watch.
Despite the surprising slide in the draft, Sanders' road to securing a spot on Cleveland's final roster remains complex, requiring him to outshine his competition during training camp.
