Shedeur Sanders was selected 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft. He joins a crowded quarterback room that includes Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. The Browns also drafted Dillon Gabriel in the third round, creating serious competition for snaps in training camp and beyond.

Sanders has shown steady progress since he was selected in the fifth round (144th overall) by the Browns and reported for the team's rookie minicamp on May 9. With Joe Flacco's workload reduced on Tuesday, Sanders got his first extensive snaps in full-team drills during practices that were open to the media.
