The Cleveland Browns' selection of quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft drew initial skepticism, but recent developments suggest they made a wise choice. Head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Sanders for his work ethic and early commitment to the team, stating he’s been diligent in preparing for the NFL. With a less-than-stellar quarterback depth chart featuring aging Joe Flacco and underperforming Kenny Pickett, Sanders has an opportunity to compete for the starting position. Rookie Dillon Gabriel, drafted earlier, may pose the biggest challenge to Sanders' ascent. However, if Sanders can maintain his positive trajectory and dispel pre-draft doubts, he could become a key player for the Browns.
