Entering the 2025 NFL draft, Shedeur was considered a potential first-round pick. However, he shockingly fell all the way to the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns took him 144th overall. Shedeur completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions over his two seasons at Colorado. That still wasn’t enough, as he ended up being the sixth quarterback taken in the 2025 NFL draft.

After beginning fourth on the Browns’ quarterback depth chart, Shedeur Sanders worked his way up to being the starter. Shedeur started the final seven games of the season. He went 3-4 and completed 56.6 percent of his passes for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
