Shedeur Sanders dances during lively celebration in viral video after NFL draft wait ends

Shedeur Sanders has finally found a team.

The Cleveland Browns had several opportunities to take Sanders earlier, and even took another quarterback — Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel — in Round 3.

But in the fifth round, they finally took Sanders, whose freefall spanned multiple rounds — and days — beyond expected.

Sanders was selected at No. 144 overall and celebrated with his family during a Twitch livestream with his brother Shilo Sanders, which captured his initial reaction.

The new Browns QB also did a cannonball into the family pool to celebrate.

Sanders will join a lengthy quarterback depth chart that already includes four other signal callers.

On the Browns depth chart has Deshaun Watson, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in Week 7 of last season and is in doubt to play in 2025.

Also listed is veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, Pittsburgh Steelers draft washout Kenny Pickett, the rookie third-rounder Gabriel, and now Sanders, who would presumably be fourth for the time being when accounting for Watson’s injury.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter noted that Browns quarterback coach Bill Musgrave was a teammate of Shedeur’s father Deion with the 49ers and are still friends today.
