Shedeur Sanders’ controversial NFL career has officially begun. The Cleveland Browns had their rookies report to camp this past week and fans got their first chance to see Sanders behind center in an NFL uniform.
His fall in the 2025 NFL Draft has been widely talked about over the last few weeks, and today Sanders made a comment about President Donald Trump commenting on his fall.

As the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft began, Trump expressed his frustration with the former Colorado star’s lack of selection:
“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness,” Trump wrote.
“He should be ‘picked’ IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”
The Cleveland Browns selected Sanders with the 144th overall pick in the fifth round, and Sanders will compete for the starting quarterback job.
Sanders is one of five quarterbacks on the roster, and the team does not have a clear starter. Deshaun Watson ruptured an Achilles tendon in January for a second time after he underwent surgery on that same tendon in October 2024. His status for the upcoming season is in doubt.
