Shedeur Sanders will have all eyes focused on him during his rookie season. His fall from a top ten prospect to a fifth round draft choice will have fans on the edge of their seat waiting to see if he can prove the doubters wrong.
However, one recent leaked video from practice won’t have the doubters going anywhere, anytime soon.
Shedeur Sanders Fails Easy Drill Horribly In Leaked Video; Fans Go Off On Him
The viral video of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders testing his reaction skills generated priceless reactions from football fans:
The story of the 2025 NFL Draft was Shedeur Sanders’ stunning fall into the fifth round. He was expected to be a first-round pick, with many scouts and analysts predicting he’d be a top-10 selection.
Some even thought he could go as high as third overall to the New York Giants. But in a shocking draft slide, the 23-year-old Sanders didn’t go until round five at No. 144 overall to the Browns.
Sanders’ fall was also a hot storyline because he’s the ultimate media darling of the 2025 NFL Draft. Such is life when you’re the son of Deion Sanders, who embraced the spotlight like no other NFL star during his playing career.
A video recently surfaced of Sanders putting his reaction skills to the test, and social media was predictably full of priceless reactions:

“Sheds some light on why Shedeur Sanders was the most sacked QB in the FBS the past two seasons (94),” one fan said.
“This is why he throws the balls instead of catching them…,” quipped another.
“he can practice while he’s in sweats on the sideline,” a fan wrote.
“But if he were making a tik tok tho…,” said another.
“Mediocre at best,” a user said.
“Yeah cleveland is cooked,” wrote a fan.
Only time will tell how Shedeur Sanders’ playing career pans out in the NFL. But as all-time greats like Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Roger Staubach showed, your draft position doesn’t write your NFL story.
The good news for Sanders is that there isn’t a clear-cut favorite to become the Browns’ starting quarterback in 2025. Joe Flacco is 40 years of age, and 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett is on his third team in as many years.
That leaves Sanders, fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel (a third-round pick) and Deshaun Watson, who may miss all of 2025 recovering from a torn Achilles. So the opportunity is there for Sanders to step in and take the starting QB job for himself.
