Sheder Sanders Finally found a house in the NFL.
After a process of winding evaluation which threw him as one of the greatest mysteries of the NFL recovery – and after a slide with three laps which saw him bypass by several franchises as a QB – The quarter of the Colorado Buffaloes was chosen during the fifth round of Cleveland. Taken n ° 144 overall, the choice comes after a draft slide which even amazed some of its most critical assessors.

Sanders and those present on his surveillance site were ecstatic when his name was finally called:
Sanders tweeted “Thank you God” shortly after that, then jumped in a swimming pool with his socks in celebration:
“We live by our board of directors, said the director general of the Browns, Andrew Berry, to the media after the choice.” We had the impression of being a good solid perspective in the most important position. We thought it came to a point where he was probably poorly evaluated compared to the project. Really, the cost of acquisition was quite light and it is a guy who, in our view, can exceed his stock of draft. I wouldn’t say that’s more than that.

“Obviously, Shemer has somehow grew up under the spotlight, but our expectation is to come here and work and compete. Nothing has been promised, nothing will be given, so I can hesitate to characterize it as a blockbuster. It is not necessarily that we have thought of the transaction, but we are excited.”
Berry also called Sanders “very precise” and capable of “playing well from the pocket”.
He also comes in the wake of a series of controversies last minute earlier this week, after NFL Network cited several anonymous league sources that hammered Sanders with strong criticism on its level of play and pre-Rôti interviews. Although criticisms were not the first in Sanders in this process, the nature of certain comments – notably calling it “titled” and “not very good” as a player – attracted a series of negative reactions inside and outside the circles of the League.
It is unlikely that the report is what ultimately has an impact on Sanders' recovery stock, but a former managing director who spotted Sanders in the draft of NFL 2023 and 2024 pointed out on Saturday that his slide “felt personal”. To this end, Sanders watched has passed several times through several franchises with a certain level of need for a pressing quarterrier – notably the Browns, the New York Giants, the Raiders of Las Vegas, the New Orleans and the Pittsburgh Steelers. After the first three laps, five quarters were chosen in front of him: Miami Cam Ward at Titans du TennesseeMississippi Jaxson Dart in GiantsLouisville Tyler Shough with saintsAlabama Jalen Milroe at Seattle Seahawks And Oregon Dillon Gabriel in Browns.
This slide finally ended on Saturday, Sanders now joining a depth painting of the Browns team which includes Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.
