Shedeur Sanders couldn't hold back his excitement as the Cleveland Browns made him the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. His immediate reaction was to dance with his mom, Pilar Sanders, and sister, Shelomi Sanders, on Saturday afternoon.

The former Colorado Buffaloes QB went through many emotions over the three-day stretch. He was even the victim of a prank phone call orchestrated by the son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.  

From the high of believing you'll be a first-round pick, to the low of going into the fifth round is mentally draining. But handled it with class while entertaining his close friends and family. Shedeur even hopped in the pool after getting drafted. 

Shedeur posed for a rare pic with the entire family after his brother Shilo signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. Shelomi, who was on the Colorado women's basketball team before transferring to Alabama A&M, put the caption “proof that greatness runs deep” with the photo. 

Now comes the real work for Shedeur as he'll compete for the starting job in Cleveland. Should be an interesting storyline for the Browns with a full QB room.
