Overview

  • On the New Heights podcast, Deion Sanders said Shedeur asked Baltimore not to take him at No. 141 because he did not want to back up Lamar Jackson.
  • Sanders added that Philadelphia contacted the camp during the draft about the quarterback.
  • Following those conversations, the Ravens chose Alabama A&M lineman Carson Vinson at 141, and the Browns traded up to select Shedeur at 144.
  • Shedeur is currently Cleveland’s third-string quarterback behind starter Joe Flacco and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
  • The remarks align with prior ESPN reporting on Baltimore’s intent to pick him at 141, while assessments of a shaky pre-draft process were cited for his slide to Round 5.
