Shedeur Sanders Declines Ravens Draft Opportunity, Chooses Browns Instead
In a surprising turn of events during the NFL draft, Shedeur Sanders, the Cleveland Browns quarterback, reportedly informed the Baltimore Ravens that he did not want to be drafted by them. Sources indicate that the Ravens had intentions to select Sanders in the fifth round, but he nixed their approach, citing a desire not to compete for a backup position behind Ravens star Lamar Jackson. Following their recent victory over the Browns, the Ravens planned to draft him but were ultimately declined by Sanders. His decision has drawn criticism from former NFL players and fans alike, with some questioning his choice to turn down an opportunity with a Super Bowl contender.
