Browns select Shedeur Sanders on final day after shocking NFL Draft drop

Chris Broussard unveils who is Under Duress ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, featuring Shedeur Sanders and James Harden on the NBA side.

The first round of the draft did not go how Sanders envisioned, as he did not hear his name get called. But no one expected the same to occur on Friday night, as three more quarterbacks were taken before him.
