Shedeur Sаnders, а fоrmer cоllege quаrterback and the sоn of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, entered the 2025 NFL Draft with high expectations. Early projections ranked Shedeur as a top-five, first-round pick and one of the first quarterbacks likely to be selected. However, in a surprising turn, Shedeur was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Compounding the shock, he was neither the first quarterback chosen by the Browns nor one of the top quarterbacks in the overall draft. Speculation about Shedeur's unexpected draft position ranged across several perspectives: Some reports attributed his draft slide to perceptions of Shedeur's confidence seen in the media, labeling him as "arrogant" and asserting that he needed to be humbled. Others pointed to Deion Sanders' outspoken statements in the media about specific teams being unfit for his son, which may have led certain franchises to pass on Shedeur. Several Black sports commentators and podcasts suggested that race played a significant role, arguing that the NFL's predominantly white ownership and management were resistant to confident and self-assured Black athletes in leadership roles such as quarterback.
