Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku and cornerback Denzel Ward are eager for new teammate Shedeur Sanders to silence his skeptics after the Colorado quarterback had a precipitous fall in the 2025 NFL draft. Njoku and Ward both shared messages to Sanders on social media after the Browns picked him in the fifth round:

The biggest storyline of the NFL draft was the dramatic slide of Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was once projected as a first-round pick. Now, Sanders joins a crowded quarterback room in Cleveland.

Deion Sanders, his famous father, tweeted a simple three-word message after his son was drafted at long last: "God is Good!" Included in the post were a few pictures of Shedeur during his time starting for the Buffaloes at quarterback. Sanders is clearly happy his son will follow in his footsteps in the professional realm.
