In the end, the Cleveland Browns managed to select Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, a dramatic story that stole all the attention during the days the event unfolded in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Now, however, it’s time to shift focus to plans ahead of the season’s start.
Shedeur Sanders starts spending big money at a huge party
Against this backdrop, the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has received high praise, already being compared to a seasoned NFL player who was recently a candidate for MVP.
Shedeur Sanders compared to Jared Goff
After being picked in the fifth round, at the 144th overall spot, Shedeur Sanders received a particularly intriguing comparison-one that should pique Cleveland’s interest. If he reaches this level, it could mean the Browns have found their franchise quarterback.
ESPN‘s Matt Miller, in his pro comparison, likened Shedeur to Jared Goff, who finished fifth in the NFL MVP voting last season, though for much of the year, he was a serious contender for the award.
Goff delivered an impressive 2024 season, throwing for 4,629 yards, 37 touchdowns, and just 12 interceptions, with a 72.4% completion rate and a passer rating of 111.8, earning him his fourth Pro Bowl nod.
Since entering the NFL as the first overall pick in 2016 with the Los Angeles Rams, Goff has surpassed 30 touchdown passes in three seasons, including each of the last two. He also led the Rams to a Super Bowl appearance in the 2018-19 season.
While not always considered among the elite quarterbacks, Goff has solidified himself as a franchise quarterback with a notably underrated track record in the league.
Now, it remains to be seen whether Shedeur Sanders can reach that same level with the Browns.
Particularly striking was the dramatic fall of Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock, which plummeted through the rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, even though numerous analysts and scouts had widely regarded him as the second-best quarterback prospect in his class, trailing only behind the top-tier talent at the position.

2025 NFL MVP Stock Watch: Bo Nix has Broncos Streaking, Scrambling Into MVP Convo
Winners of 10 one-score games this season and riding an 11-game winning streak, it’s time to acknowledge the Denver Broncos are not the luckiest team in the NFL. Holding a 12-2 record, tops in the NFL, the Broncos are the best. And while the Broncos have one of the nastiest defenses in the NFL, one of the main reasons for Denver’s success has been the clutch performance of second-year quarterback Bo Nix. The Oregon product’s raw numbers aren't among the best in the league, but he's played well when it mattered the most, as he did against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. He threw for 302 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, posting a season-high 134.7 passer rating in the 34-26 victory. Nix's 11 straight wins ties Lamar Jackson (2019), Peyton Manning (1999) and Dan Marino (1984) for the longest win […]
The reasons behind why Lionel Messi didn’t play during India tour
Lionel Messi's recent visit to India was framed as a landmark moment for football fans, and in many respects, it lived up to the hype. Over the course of three tightly scheduled days, the Argentine legend traveled across Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, attracting massive crowds wherever he appeared. For a country where elite football icons are rarely seen in person, Messi's presence alone was enough to spark nationwide excitement.Rodrigo De Paul did this next to Lionel MessiIn Delhi, the atmosphere was electric. Thousands filled the stadium not to watch a match, but simply to witness Messi walk onto the pitch. Fans chanted his name as he greeted supporters, signed jerseys, kicked footballs into the stands, and spent time interacting with young players.The energy intensified when he appeared alongside Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, turning the […]
