The Cleveland Browns released their first depth chart of the 2025 season on Monday and it’s not going to make Shedeur Sanders fans very happy. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Sanders was listed as the fourth-string quarterback.
The Colorado product came in behind veteran Joe Flacco (No. 1), former first-round pick Kenny Pickett (No. 2) and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel (No. 3). Of course, there’s still plenty of time to go before the regular season kicks off, but it doesn’t bode well for Sanders.
Sanders was at one point projected to be a first-round draft pick with some analysts even declaring him the best QB in the 2025 class. However, he fell far below those predictions before the Browns drafted him in the fifth round.
By the time Sanders was taken, five other quarterbacks had already been selected. That included Gabriel, who went in the third round.
Sanders put up huge numbers this past season at Colorado while playing for his father, NFL legend Deion Sanders . He led the FBS with a 74% completion rate to go along with 4,134 yards passing and 37 touchdowns to 10 interceptions.
But despite those statistics, something was holding teams back from pulling the trigger on drafting him. He now enters the year with a lot to prove, but right now it looks like he still has a long way to go.
