While his fall to the fifth round will be remembered for many years to come, the Browns hope they got the steal of the century. Deion Sanders' son was projected as a top-ten pick, but ended up going 144th overall.

The Sanders family was featured on a livestream throughout the 2025 draft as Shedeur, initially projected as a potential first-round pick, fell to the Cleveland Browns in Round 5. Shilo then signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.

Deion Sanders assumed his son would be a high first-round pick, and he approached the draft that way. He had Shedeur sit out the Senior Bowl. Shedeur attended, but didn’t throw. He was at the NFL Combine for interviews, but once again didn’t throw.
