The Colorado Buffaloes coach started to walk away and paused to repeat the exact quote. The moment for Shedeur was a long time coming as NFL analysts like Mel Kiper Jr. expected him to be picked in the first round on Thursday.

After being snubbed in the first four rounds, fans questioned his chances of being drafted. The Browns's decision to acquire him positions him to compete for a starting role in the 2025 NFL season.

He finished his senior year with the sixth-most passing yards in the league, achieving 353 completed passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns.
