Shedeur Sanders, fellow Browns rookie QB Dillon Gabriel making most of unexpected situation: 'We're truly cool'

In the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders experienced a notable fall, going from a potential early pick to being chosen in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns at No. 144 overall. This was surprising, especially as the Browns had already selected another quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, from Oregon in the third round. Despite this unexpected scenario, both Sanders and Gabriel are positive about their new partnership, emphasizing mutual learning and camaraderie. Sanders, a standout at Colorado under his father Deion Sanders' coaching, is adapting to his new NFL environment, which includes veteran quarterbacks Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. The Browns' QB lineup is diverse, with Sanders focusing on building team chemistry and working towards future success with the Browns.
