Overview

  • On the New Heights podcast, Deion Sanders said Shedeur told Baltimore he did not want to be drafted to back up Lamar Jackson.
  • Deion added that Philadelphia contacted the camp during draft weekend, indicating interest as Shedeur slid.
  • The Ravens passed at No. 141 after the conversation and selected OL Carson Vinson; Cleveland traded up and took Shedeur at No. 144.
  • Shedeur has not appeared in a regular-season game and is third on the Browns’ depth chart behind Joe Flacco and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
  • Deion reiterated he expects Shedeur to get a shot this season, a stance that has drawn pushback from analysts who argue sitting behind established starters can aid development.
