US EditionShedeur Sanders' draft slide leads to a rare QB double dip by the Browns
- The Cleveland Browns drafted two quarterbacks, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, within the first five rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft held April 24–26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
- This rare strategy mirrored Washington’s 2012 NFL Draft when they selected Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins early, and it occurred amid a weekend dominated by SEC and Big Ten selections.
- Shedeur Sanders, a high-profile prospect and son of Deion Sanders, slid to the fifth round reportedly due to concerns about his personality and the Browns drafting Gabriel earlier.
- Sanders was chosen 144th overall with a contract valued near $4 million, marking an estimated $41 million loss compared to if he had been drafted third overall, while the Browns rostered five quarterbacks entering training camp.
- Sanders faces a competitive roster spot and must demonstrate NFL readiness, as the Browns’ accumulation of quarterbacks implies significant uncertainty about his role.
