Deion Sanders Confirms Shedeur Told Ravens Not to Draft Him, Reveals Eagles’ Draft-Day Call

He framed the choice as avoiding a long-term backup role behind Lamar Jackson.

Overview

  • On the New Heights podcast, Sanders said Shedeur declined Baltimore’s interest at No. 141, after which the Ravens selected offensive lineman Carson Vinson.
  • Sanders added that Philadelphia contacted the camp during the draft, a previously unreported inquiry into the quarterback.
  • Cleveland traded up to take Shedeur at No. 144, and he is the Browns’ third‑string/emergency quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel with no regular-season snaps to date.
  • The Colorado coach predicted his son will “get a shot” in 2025, characterizing it as his personal expectation rather than a set plan.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski is sticking with Flacco as QB1 after Week 3, leaving the timing of any opportunity for Shedeur unresolved.
