Cleveland Browns fans are snapping up Shedeur Sanders jerseys left and right, demonstrating their enthusiasm for the team's new quarterback after selecting him in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Despite falling to the 144th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a full 119 selections and two days after fellow quarterback Jaxson Dart, Sanders' jersey ranks third in sales. This places him right behind the top two picks, Travis Hunter and Cam Ward, with Hunter leading the way. The full list, as visualized by ESPN Cleveland, can be seen below
Several factors contributed to Sanders' draft-day slide from potential top-five pick to the fifth round. Concerns surrounding his skills, pre-draft performance, and perceived off-field presence likely played a role. While many teams viewed him as a second-round talent, his pre-draft interviews, lack of a traditional agent, and limited workout opportunities didn't help his cause.
Ultimately, the league's perception of him as a potential distraction, combined with some teams not having an immediate need at quarterback, led to his later selection. However, Browns fans, new and old, are excited about Sanders joining their team.
