Shedeur Sanders proclaimed himself the best quarterback of the NFL's incoming rookie class before the start of the 2025 draft. The Colorado signal-caller went untouched in Round 1, however, then slid all the way into Round 3 by Friday night.

At long last, Shedeur Sanders was drafted in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. The Cleveland Browns traded up to the 144th pick to select the Colorado star quarterback following an unprecedented slide.

Thus, many were shocked when Cleveland drafted Oregon's Dillon Gabriel at pick No. 94. The Browns then made the most noteworthy move of the fifth round when they traded up to select Sanders with the No. 144 overall choice.
