Browns DT Mason Graham makes feelings known on playing with Shedeur Sanders

Shedeur Sanders has been in the spotlight ever since the Cleveland Browns took him with the No. 144 pick in this year's NFL draft. The quarterback has looked sharp in the first few training sessions with the Browns.

It appears that Sanders is also making a strong impression on his teammates. On Friday, the Browns' No. 5 draft pick, Mason Graham, shared his opinion on the QB.

“He seems like a good dude and [the conversation] was all about ball. I want to play with guys that are like-minded," Graham said.

Graham also didn't seem to be too bothered that Sanders, the fifth-round pick, was getting more attention than him in Cleveland.

"I come and play football," Graham said. "If the media's on me, then they're on me. If the media's not, then [they're] not. I'm just going to do my job at the end of the day."

Sanders was widely regarded as a first-round pick before the draft. However, not many anticipated that he would slide down as a fifth-round selection, especially after he was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2024 at Colorado.

Meanwhile, Graham played three seasons of college basketball at Michigan. The defensive tackle won the national title with the Wolverines in January 2024 and was named a unanimous All-American in his final year.

Shedeur Sanders can get himself the Cleveland Browns' QB2 role in the 2025 season. He could serve as the backup to Joe Flacco, who could be named the starting quarterback, considering Deshaun Watson's Achilles injury.

Sanders will have to fend off competition from Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel in the offseason.

It appears that Sanders has gotten off to a strong start at Cleveland. He impressed during the throwing drills on Friday and will want to continue the good work in the rookie minicamp.
