He may have been the 144th person to hear his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft, but Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders certainly doesn’t rank 144th in fan interest.
As of Wednesday, Sanders has the highest-selling jersey among 2025 draft picks on Fanatics, according to cllct. Of course, it’s not yet known what number the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback will wear with the Browns. Travis Hunter, who was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 2 pick and Sanders’ Colorado teammate, previously had the highest-selling jersey among 2025 draft picks, followed by Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward and then Sanders.
After being a presumed top-10 draft selection dating back as far as last offseason, Sanders went unselected until the fifth round of the draft, with the Browns trading picks No. 166 and 192 to the Seattle Seahawks to take Sanders at No. 144. He was the sixth quarterback selected in the draft behind Ward (No. 1), Jaxson Dart (No. 25), Tyler Shough (No. 40), Jalen Milroe (No. 92) and Dillon Gabriel (No. 94).
After spending two seasons at Jackson State (2021-22), Sanders transferred to Colorado, where he played the last two seasons (2023-24). Sanders’ father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was the quarterback’s head coach at both schools.

Last season, Sanders totaled 4,134 passing yards, 37 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 168.2 passer rating, while completing 74% of his passes. He was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and led the conference in passing yards and touchdowns, passer rating and completion percentage. On the jersey front, Sanders (No. 2) and Hunter (No. 12) each recently had their Colorado jerseys retired.
Is Shedeur Sanders the answer for the Cleveland Browns at quarterback?
Sanders joins a crowded Browns quarterback room, which includes 2022 first-rounder Kenny Pickett, veteran Joe Flacco and Gabriel, whom the Browns selected with the No. 94 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft; Deshaun Watson is expected to miss next season due to a ruptured Achilles.
Cleveland traded back from pick No. 2 to No. 5 with the Jaguars, sending picks No. 2, 104 and 200 to Jacksonville for picks No. 5, 36 and 126 and its 2026 first-round pick. The Browns took Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham at No. 5, and the Jaguars took Hunter at No. 2.

Tottenham 3 Bodo/Glimt 1: Postecoglou’s selection decisions pay off but late injuries a concern
Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of reaching the 2025 Europa League final are intact after they defeated Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in Thursday night’s semi-final first leg.Spurs got off to a dream start, with Yves Bissouma and Richarlison — two surprise picks by Ange Postecoglou — combining to set up Brennan Johnson with only 37 seconds on the clock. Spurs were then rewarded for a patient, mature and notably direct first-half performance with a second goal just after the half-hour mark, James Maddison latching onto a long pass from Pedro Porro and guiding the ball into the Glimt net.AdvertisementThe third Spurs goal was a nonchalantly taken second-half penalty from Dominic Solanke, after VAR had spied a foul on Cristian Romero by Fredrik Sjovold. But just as it looked like being a perfect evening, injuries to Maddison and Solanke were followed by a late goal […]
College basketball rankings: UConn, St. John’s surge in way-too-early Top 25
John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter <!--> The quality of play in college basketball has grown tremendously in recent years. One reason for that is NIL (name, image and likeness) dollars and the impact it has had in keeping some potential pros around for another season. Those players can make more money in college and gain more for their profile than a potential trip to the G League to continue development. The flip side is the chaotic climate within the sport, an open market that has increased to dollar figures that seemed unfathomable even two-to-three years ago. But, that’s the reality of where things stand: Roster continuity with talent is like buried treasure in this sport, while having the great white whale, a top-shelf donor who can lead the bankrolling efforts for a roster, is the invaluable asset you need […]
Sormani aponta jogador fora da curva no futebol: “Muito acima do Estêvão”
Estêvão em treino do Palmeiras (Cesar Greco/Palmeiras) No programa “Opinião Placar” de hoje, o jornalista Fábio Sormani não poupou elogios ao atacante Lamine Yamal, do Barcelona. Ele foi o grande nome do confronto diante da Inter de Milão, pela semifinal da Champions League. Então, o comentarista relembrou as comparações que há com Estêvão, do Palmeiras, por jogarem na mesma posição e terem praticamente a mesma idade. Mas, para ele, não há comparação entre eles. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Estêvão deveria assistir o Lamine Yamal jogar, aquilo é jogar, isso é ter repertório de drible, porque o Estêvão só tem um drible, que é para o meio. O Yamal dribla de todo jeito. Ele é muito acima do Estêvão, dá de 350 mil a zero no Estêvão. Esse moleque é craque”, iniciou. Sormani minimiza qualidade de Estêvão Na sequência, o jornalista disse […]
