Shedeur Sanders has indeed been drafted. Despite expectations he might be a first-round pick, he was selected significantly later, in the fifth round as the 144th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. His draft slide from potential top pick to a fifth-round selection was surprising and sparked wide discussion and some controversy. The Browns traded up to pick him, indicating they see potential value beyond his draft position. Sanders now faces a challenge to prove his worth as he competes within a crowded quarterback room in Cleveland.
In summary, yes, Sanders got drafted, but later than initially expected, and he will have the opportunity to prove himself at the NFL level with the Browns.
