Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders was one of the top-ranked quarterbacks in the class. After a dominant season with the Colorado Buffaloes, many experts believed that the Cleveland Browns would take him early in the first round. Instead, Sanders made headlines as he slipped down the draft boards, with Cleveland taking Dillon Gabriel instead.
LeSean McCoy offered his opinion on why that happened. According to the former Pro Bowl running back, Kevin Stefanski and the Browns front office did not select the quarterback early because of his race. To him, Sanders’ talent was evident throughout his time playing collegiate football. However, Sanders’ pre-draft drama shook a lot of experts’ belief in him.
Sanders made the Browns’ final roster, but is the third-string quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Gabriel. McCoy gave his take on the rookie’s situation on Speak Easy. The former Philadelphia Eagles star believes that Sanders slipped in the draft because he is black.
