Shedeur Sanders has not played a single minute of an NFL game – whether a preseason or a regular season match – and he’s already one of the biggest stories of the league.
The former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback, who got selected 144 overall by the Cleveland Browns on the fifth round, promises to be a legendary player.
Considered by many as one of the top two quarterbacks available on the 2025 Draft – in a close competition with former Miami Hurricanes standout and current Tennessee Titans QB, Cam Ward -, Sanders has more than enough motivation for his rookie year.
Shedeur Sanders parties with celebrities
Shedeur Sanders posted a video on Instagram where he showed the world how he celebrated his big day of becoming an NFL player, and by the size and caliber of people who were in attendance, we would have thought Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders’ youngest son got selected No. 1 overall.
The venue was the dallas nightclub Hyde & Seek, where Sanders celebrated with a star-studded guest list that included rappers Kodak Black, Yung Miami, Shenseea, Loe Shimmy, and other notables from the entertainment and music industries.
Shedeur was not only the star of the night, but also a performer, as he entertained his guests with his rap track “Perfect Timing,” which has more than 927,000 views on YouTube, with good reviews as fans praise the quarterback’s abilities on the mic.
It has been stated that, among other issues, some NFL franchises were worried about the fact that Shedeur Sanders seems to be more interested on his career off the field than on fitting in with a team. The young player’s rap career and branding efforts are viewed as a headache more as a liability than an asset for some in the league.
Browns warn Sanders that nothing will be given
Cleveland Browns‘ executive vice president of football operations and general manager Andrew Berry spoke to the media about the reasons behind the team’s decision to draft two former college quarterbacks: Gabriel Dillon and Shedeur Sanders – picking the former Oregon Duck first.
“We live by our board. We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt like it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft. Really, the acquisition cost was pretty light, and it’s a guy that we think can outproduce his draft slot,” Berry said.
“Our expectation is for him to come in here and work and compete. Nothing’s been promised. Nothing will be given,” he added. In both players, Berry said the Browns saw accuracy and decision making as strengths of their individual games. As they join the quarterback room, they both will have the chance to compete among the quarterbacks.
