Sheder Sanders has a house in the NFL after a shocking expectation of almost three days during which he radically slipped the draft.
The Cleveland Browns put an end to one of the most controversial NFL recovery slides in the history of the League when they selected Sanders in the fifth round with the 144th choice in total on Saturday.
The NFL world has been locked in the Sanders family home since Thursday evening when Sanders had one of the most dramatic and shocking recovery slides in the history of the League.
The quarter-back errors of the NFL draft which shaped the landscape of the League
“Nothing really affected me in recent days,” Sanders told journalists on Saturday. “I am favored, I am blessed. In addition to that, it is not really something that has changed. The love of the game is always the love of the game. When you get on the field, there was not too much negativity.
“The main thing, I just prove – the coach (Kevin) Stefanski and (managing director Andrew) Berry – that they are right. That’s it. They are right to choose me. I am a good decision. I am a good choice of draft for them, to be able to come and do what I have to do.”
For Sanders, considered at a given time as a candidate for overall choice n ° 1 of the project, the fall was historic.
The best hopes like Sanders had shocking slides in the past projects of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers slipped to the 25th choice in total to the 2005 NFL recovery and was transmitted by the 49ers of Alex Smith.
Patrick Mahomes was not taken before the 10th choice of the 2017 draft and was transmitted for Mitch Trubisky by the Bears. However, at the time, Mahomes was less an excited perspective than Sanders.

Lamar Jackson fell to the 32nd choice in the 2018 draft after four other quarters were taken before him.
But Sanders had to wait well in the third day to hear his name called, with almost all the national attention of the event at that time.
Sanders also had to face a farce by a NFL GM IMPOTER in front of an audience Twitch Livestream on Friday evening.
“Of course, I have the impression that it was a childish act, but everyone does childish things here and there,” Sanders told journalists on the phone call, via the Cleveland.com journalist, Mary Kay Cabot.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed the farce’s call at a press conference on Saturday.
“It’s sad that these young men are to face,” said Stefanski. “It’s silly, but up and up.”

Now Sanders focuses on the best work with the Browns and to show everyone the “real” him.
“I know I’m going to integrate perfectly,” said Sanders. “I have the impression that it is first to enter, to respect the veterinarians, by showing them that I am here ready to work. Show the coaches and make them understand, I am ready to work here. So, they could really understand the real me. This is what I am really grateful, it is an opportunity for people to see the real me and to not be able to see things that could be true or not.”

Sanders’ father and college coach, Deion Sanders, sent a gratitude message on X after the choice of his son.
“My bible says that God uses stupid things to confuse the wise and he chose the weak things of the world that he could shame the forts,” said Sanders in an article on X. “Know that God is not done and God really starts. Take advantage of this lesson and stop stressing.”
God was a common theme throughout the experience project for the whole Sanders family. Sheder and Deion have expressed their thanks to God in several publications on social networks without further context dozen times since Thursday.
Deion’s other son, Deion Sanders Jr., posted a frenzy of biblical verses on his X account, then retweeted these same messages a few hours later.
Deion was a devout Christian throughout his football career, and his sons looked at this throughout the weekend during the unprecedented experience of Sheder.
However, SheDer is also different from deion in other respects, according to the director general of Browns, Andrew Berry.
“Sheder, he is probably a little opposite in terms of personality with his father,” Berry told journalists on Saturday. “A little more silent, a little more introverted, but we felt good with him as a person. He works hard. He is a very good child. He wants to be great. His teammates loved him in Colorado. And I know that he will come to work and ready to put his best foot.”

Several reports have indicated that Sanders may have questioned several Directors General of the NFL throughout the Process Project. However, the Browns’ Berry said that his team’s interview was a “positive” experience.
Berry and Stefanski suggested that Sanders will compete in the position of Quarterrière leaving the team in 2025.
“We do not care once they walked in the doors. Do not care about a choice of first round, a seventh round choice, not drafted. Once you are here and you are in this football team, you are part of this culture, you are part of this family, and we will simply keep your head down and go to work.”
