Shedeur Sanders ended up a fifth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL draft. He wasn’t even the first quarterback the Browns took in the draft.
The Giants, who were widely rumored to be going after him, ended up taking Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick and then traded back into the first round to take Jaxson Dart at No. 25.
While it’s unclear how high other teams had Shedeur at the start of the process, the common theme was that it didn’t go well.
Everybody has had their take on what went wrong, but one comedian is taking it a step further.
Legendary comedian and actor Eddie Griffin says he is done with the league and that they are “full of shi—” for what they did to Shedeur Sanders. He even dissed Jay-Z.
Griffin thinks the Cleveland Browns were smart to take him so they could trade him for more picks in next year’s draft.
“I know what you doing. You trying to teach his daddy a lesson because he turned the Colorado program around by himself, and yall mad that the top prospects coming out of high school want to play for Deion,” Griffin said.
"I ain't watching no more NFL."

“I ain’t watching no more NFL. F–k all of yall.”
When discussing the former Colorado quarterback’s stunning slide over the weekend to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft, Boomer Esiason claimed Monday that the 23-year-old Sanders wasn’t on draft boards because NFL owners didn’t want him there.
Boomer Esiason said on WFAN that the Colorado quarterback hurt his draft stock after he came across as arrogant.
“They took him off because the owners said, ‘Take him off. I don’t want that guy. I don’t want this entitled person on our team,'” Esiason said.
The Athletic’s Mike Jones reported Sanders “had an off-putting air that NFL talent evaluators perceived as arrogance and entitlement.”
NFL draft insider Todd McShay reported that Sanders didn’t have a “professional approach” in his interviews.
In the months before the draft, Shedeur was widely perceived as one of the top two quarterbacks, alongside Cam Ward, who the Tennessee Titans took first overall.
Unfortunately, things he either said or did contributed to him not being selected.
