The Cleveland Browns pressed the trigger by taking SheDer Sanders after its historic slide in the draft of the NFL.
But some fans are skeptical about the team’s enthusiasm for the player according to the reactions of Browns leadership after the selection.
ESPN images of Browns ‘head coach Kevin Stefanski, and director general Andrew Berry, have shown light golf couples with virgin facial expressions in the team’s war room after the announcement of Sanders’ choice.
Berry clashed with a half -frown.

Many fans on social networks have asked for how much team brass brass was really to take the controversial perspective.
“Did they seem delighted. Did anyone forced their hand?” An X user wrote in response to images.
Another user has expressed his concern that Sanders may be in a team whose leadership does not appreciate it.
“It is even more disrespectful than not to write it. No question that these guys treat SheDerly,” wrote the user.

On Bold, the critic even suggested that Berry and Stefanski gave a “shame reaction”.
“This is a shame reaction, they are embarrassed that they have decided to participate in this collusion, knowingly and visibly participated in this child while writing it,” wrote this user.
Berry and Stefasnki later explained the selection of Sanders to journalists at a press conference. Berry suggested that Sanders’ editorial staff “was not necessarily the plan” after taking the quarter-arre Dillon Gabriel in a previous round, and he did not think Sanders would be available in the fifth round.
“It was not necessarily the plan entering the weekend to select two quarters, but, you know, as we are talking about, we believe in the best available player. We believe in the positional value. And we did not necessarily expect it to be available in the fifth round,” said Berry.
“So we like to add competition to each position room. So adding it to compete with the other guys who are already there, it was the appropriate thing to do.”
While discussing the strategy behind the writing of Sanders, Berry said that it was something that Browns officials began to consider entering the third day of the draft.
“It was something, entering the third day of the draft with him always on the board, it was a thought like” well, you know, according to the path of the path, it would be something that we would be interested in potentially withdrawing it “,” said Berry.

“While the names kept getting out of the painting and we saw how we were positioned, we just had the impression that the value was there.”
Berry added that the experience of interview with Sanders was “positive” in the midst of the reports that the quarter-rear questioned for several NFL teams.
Before Saturday, the relationship between the Browns and Sanders family was not all flattering compliments.
Sheder’s father, the Colorado football coach and the NFL renowned temple, Deion Sanders, once suggested that a young quarter-Arrière should refuse to play for Cleveland in 2018, the way Eli Manning refused to play for the charge in 2004.
“I love what the Browns have done this off -season, but if I am a young QB, I would not go to Cleveland. I was pulling an Eli Manning if possible,” wrote Deion in a Twitter article in March 2018.
However, Deion also challenged the idea that Sheder might not play for the Browns after a rumor surfaced last season.
“A lie does not care who says it. Please stop trying to become relevant by distorting my son. May God bless you,” wrote Deion in response to a post circulating the rumor.
