Drama Ongoing Following NFL Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Sanders—the most accurate passer in NCAA history —was widely considered to be one of the top talents in April's draft, but ended up as the sixth quarterback selected (and the second by his own team) when the Cleveland Browns scooped him up in the fifth round.

One NFL insider provided his stance on how he would approach utilizing Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel in the Browns' 2025 season.

"Jimmy Haslam also loves headlines. It's why he pushed the draft Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield. They were the most talked about quarterbacks... It's why he signed a ridiculous guaranteed contract for Deshaun Watson. It would get discussed."

Sanders faced plenty of scrutiny leading up to the NFL draft this spring, and concerns about how he handled the pre-draft process are believed to have led to a dramatic drop in his draft stock. He was eventually taken in the fifth round by Cleveland .
