Shedeur Sanders, once heralded as a top-three pick, was picked 144th by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round on Sunday. He had been subject to much scrutiny ahead of the draft, which may be the reason teams chose to forego picking him.
Even the Browns overlooked Sanders six times with their previous picks in the draft before finally onboarding him.
Trae Young sends message to Hawks fans amid trade rumors
After an overtime loss to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament concluded their season, the Atlanta Hawks have a busy and potentially decisive offseason ahead. Trae Young is eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million extension this summer, which may be a pivotal decision for the star guard and the Hawks.
Amidst rumors of a possible trade, Young had a message for Hawks fans on his social media on Tuesday. The star guard shared that this was the last time he would miss out on playoff basketball.
"Seven years down and last I won't be in the postseason," Trae Young wrote before signing off with the word "love" and a series of emojis.
Trae Young concluded the 2024-25 season, averaging 24.2 points, 11.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game. The four-time NBA All-Star shot 41.1% from the field, including 34.0% from beyond the arc, as the Hawks failed to make the playoffs for their second straight season.
Young is on a five-year $215 million contract that is slated to run through the 2026-27 season. However, he does have a player option that would allow him to become a free agent as soon as 2026.
