Even before the draft started, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero quoted one longtime NFL assistant coach as saying Shedeur gave "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life," calling him "entitled" and someone who "blames teammates" when things don't go right.

Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback once expected to be a Top 10 selection, finally found a home in the NFL on April 26, the third and final day of this year's Draft. The Cleveland Browns, who passed on him six times prior, chose Shedeur as the 144th overall pick.
