Shedeur Sanders, one of the top quarterback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft, has made it clear where his virtual loyalties lie.

The Colorado Buffaloes star and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders recently revealed that when it comes to Madden NFL, he only plays with the Cleveland Browns.

“I like how (the Browns) move around,” Sanders said, according to ESPN, explaining why he always chooses them when playing the popular video game. "I like the setup."

His preference for the team isn’t just about aesthetics—it reflects his appreciation for the potential of Cleveland’s roster and play style. While his statement was made in a lighthearted gaming context, it is quite intriguing given the Browns’ position near the top of the draft board.

The Browns currently hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, so Sanders' remarks could spark speculation about his potential future in Cleveland.

As one of the most highly touted quarterbacks in this year’s draft class, Shedeur Sanders has drawn praise for his arm strength, poise under pressure and ability to extend plays.

His stock has remained high despite Colorado’s ups and downs. NFL teams are taking notice. With the Browns possibly in the market for a new franchise signal-caller, his Madden comments could be more than just playful banter—they could hint at a real football fit.

While it remains to be seen whether Sanders will actually end up in Cleveland, one thing is certain: in Madden NFL, he’s already leading the Browns to victory.
