BEREA, Ohio — Since Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders tumbled down the NFL Draft like Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole, he’s become almost a cult hero with an enormous social media following and all eyes in the NFL upon him.

During the Cleveland Browns’ rookie minicamp, Shedeur Sanders confidently declared that his NFL journey would echo Tom Brady’s. Drafted 144th overall in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders acknowledged his low selection but dismissed its importance and explained his excitement to prove himself.

A fan of former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is suing the NFL after Sanders wasn’t picked until the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. An unnamed fan in Georgia, who filed the lawsuit as “John Doe,” is suing the NFL for $100 million.
