Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam Shuts Down Speculation About Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns were the team that took a shot on Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting him in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick.

After Haslam's statement, former NFL star Antonio Brown accused the Browns owner. Brown accused Haslam of being afraid to admit that he broke an agreement he had with the other 31 teams about not picking Shedeur. "Jimmy doesn't want to publicly admit he broke the agreement between the 31 other teams," Brown wrote.
