Shedeur Sanders’ journey to the NFL was dramatic for various reasons, and he continues to remain in the spotlight. Sanders has stepped onto the field with the Cleveland Browns as he gears up for a strong season. Sadly, he was not picked in the first round and he has a lot to prove.

“Nah, I’m not trying to buy anything. My signing bonus ain’t that high right now,” he told reporters, drawing a laugh from the audience,” Sanders said.
