When the Cleveland Browns traded up to select Shedeur Sanders with the No. 144 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft, they were bringing in a player that the media would talk about nonstop.

If you believe ESPN, the guys who are just now entering the Cleveland Browns quarterback room might as we not bother even finding a comfortable chair. And for the sake of headline-grabbing, that apparently especially applies to Shedeur Sanders.

During a Tuesday appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky explained why he disagrees with the Browns' reported quarterback plan for the upcoming campaign.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. was criticized again for favoring Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders over others, including the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Browns' Pro Bowl defender will miss the entire upcoming season with a neck injury suffered in Week 8 of 2024.

Arguably, the biggest storyline surrounding the Browns is the future under center. Cleveland has five quarterbacks on the roster in Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Deshaun Watson. The team needs one of those guys to step up and be a high-impact player in 2025.

NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky says Cleveland must see what it has in rookie QBs Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel — or risk wasting the season entirely.

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowler Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has already been ruled out for the 2025 season, the team announced.
