The footage, posted by Warren Sharp, shows head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry clapping after the pick. Many fans pointed out that their facial expressions appeared less than enthusiastic.

The Browns traded up to select Shedeur Sanders with the 144th overall pick on Saturday, ending what many considered one of the most surprising draft slides in recent memory. Sanders, who had been projected much higher by many analysts before the draft, was the sixth quarterback taken in this year's class.

The selection came just one day after Cleveland had already drafted another quarterback, Oregon's Dillon Gabriel, in the third round with the 94th overall pick.

Sanders' draft slide ends after a stellar college career

Sanders' pick by the Browns brought closure to what had been one of the most talked-about narratives of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Shedeur amassed impressive numbers in college. Last year, he led the FBS with a 74% completion percentage and passed for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns at Colorado. The performances earned him second-team All-America recognition and the 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

Prior to transferring to Colorado, Sanders spent two seasons at FCS Jackson State playing for his father. During his four college seasons, he had 14,347 passing yards and 134 touchdown passes. His 64 Colorado touchdown passes were a school record despite protection problems that resulted in being sacked 94 times for two seasons.

In spite of these achievements, Sanders' draft stock greatly fluctuated in the months preceding the draft. One of the top five picks and rumored to be associated with teams such as the New York Giants, Sanders instead saw five other quarterbacks drafted ahead of him.

Critics had indicated weaknesses in Sanders' mobility and his propensity to hang onto the ball too long in the pocket. Yet, he proved to be effective in high-pressure situations, passing 14 touchdowns versus only three interceptions when blitzed, while preserving his high percentage of completions.

The Browns' choosing to take Sanders following their having already drafted Gabriel creates a compelling quarterback scenario in Cleveland. like
