This move has been a hot topic as Sanders, initially projected to go in the first round, found himself dropping to the fifth round. Coach Kevin Stefanski's Browns needed depth in their quarterback room, making this pick a strategic addition for the upcoming 2025-2026 season.

Shedeur expressed gratitude on his X account, thanking God for the opportunity and reflecting on the unexpected turn of events. Browns legend Bernie Kosar welcomed him with a supportive message: "Better late than never, welcome to Town @ShedeurSanders."
