The 2025 NFL Draft is set to change the lives of hundreds of football players. There isn’t much that’s set in stone in regard to what’s going to happen. The only pick that appears to be a sure thing is the Tennessee Titans taking Cam Ward with the first overall pick. But even starting with the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, anything can happen.

There was a time where Shedeur Sanders was a favorite to be the Browns’ selection at No. 2, but that is no longer the case. In fact, there are murmurs that Sanders could fall out of the first round.

And he was particularly upset by the timing of the quote coming out, mere days before the draft begins.
Sanders may not be a perfect prospect, but there has been nothing but negative news surrounding him in the recent leadup to the draft. There’s a bit of shadiness about it all.
