Along with Sanders, the Browns also have fellow quarterbacks Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and rookie third-round pick Dillon Gabriel. Cleveland also still has Deshaun Watson, but the former Pro Bowler's 2025 season is in jeopardy after he reinjured his Achilles back in January.

The Cleveland Browns selected the former Colorado quarterback in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday, ending Sanders' long wait. Sanders entered the draft as one of the most highly regarded quarterback prospects, with many projecting him to go in the first or second round.

Not long after the Browns drafted Shedeur Sanders, GM Andrew Berry received a phone call. It was from the father of Sanders — Deion Sanders. Also Sanders’ coach at Colorado, Deion Sanders was grateful and sincerely touched as he thanked the GM more than once for drafting his son.
