Shedeur Sanders‘ unexpected slide in the 2025 NFL Draft didn’t dampen his popularity among fans. Despite being selected 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns, Sanders‘ jersey quickly became one of the top-selling items from the draft.
His rise in merchandise sales indicates that fans are eager to support the young quarterback, signaling a promising start to his NFL career.
They got juice! Deion Sanders Jr. brags about the money Shedeur Sanders got after getting drafted
Initially projected as a potential first-round pick, Sanders‘ draft experience took an unforeseen turn. He was ultimately chosen by the Browns in the fifth round, a position far below expectations.
This unexpected drop sparked discussions about possible factors influencing his draft stock, including concerns over his attitude and potential systemic biases. Notably, commentator Stephen A. Smith drew parallels between Sanders‘ situation and that of Colin Kaepernick, suggesting that similar biases might have played a role in his lower selection.
Fan support and merchandise surge
Despite the draft-day disappointment, Sanders‘ popularity among fans remained strong. His jersey sales soared, ranking third among all rookies, trailing only his college teammate Travis Hunter and No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
This surge in merchandise sales underscores the strong fan support Sanders enjoys, even before stepping onto the NFL field.
The Cleveland Browns‘ decision to draft Sanders, despite his unexpected slide, appears to be a strategic one. By selecting Sanders, the Browns not only secured a talented quarterback but also tapped into a significant fanbase eager to support him.
This move could prove beneficial both on and off the field, as the team’s merchandise sales are likely to see a boost from Sanders‘ popularity.
As Shedeur Sanders embarks on his NFL journey with the Cleveland Browns, all eyes will be on him to see how he performs on the field.
His ability to translate fan support into on-field success will be crucial in determining the long-term impact of his draft-day slide. However, the initial surge in merchandise sales indicates a strong foundation of fan support, providing a positive outlook for his future in the NFL.

Stanley Cup Playoffs Bring Chaos, Not Clarity, Through First 10 Days
The first 10 days of the Stanley Cup Playoffs have provided plenty of excitement and suspense — but little separation.That’s especially been the case in the clustered eight-team Western Conference, where establishing a clear favorite has been virtually impossible. Each of the four first-round series in the West were knotted 2-2 before the Dallas Stars became the first to break the deadlock with a 6-2 win against the visiting Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 on Monday night, giving them a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven series. Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said after the win that he sensed many doubted the Stars following their 4-0 loss in Game 4. “They feed off people doubting them,” DeBoer said. On the other hand, many expected the Winnipeg Jets to breeze through the first round after winning the Presidents’ Trophy with the best record […]
