Overview

• On the New Heights podcast, Deion Sanders said Shedeur told Baltimore not to draft him at No. 141 because he didn’t want a long-term backup role behind Lamar Jackson.
• Deion added that Philadelphia called on draft day and indicated Shedeur sought a situation with a clearer route to the field rather than learning behind Jalen Hurts.
• The Browns traded up to select Shedeur at No. 144 in the fifth round, and he is currently third on Cleveland’s depth chart behind Joe Flacco and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
• Adam Schefter previously reported the Ravens planned to take Shedeur before pivoting to OL Carson Vinson after learning of his stance.
• Deion predicted Shedeur will “get a shot” to play this season, though the Browns have given no indication of a quarterback change and the rookie has yet to appear in a regular-season game.
