Shedeur Sanders lists three things he possesses “that equals success”

Falling into the fifth round wasn't in Shedeur Sanders' plans when the 2025 NFL draft started. Despite being considered the second-best quarterback in the class by many analysts, he had to wait until the final day to hear his name called.

The draft setback hasn't stopped Shedeur from staying positive as he embarks on his professional career. The Cleveland Browns quarterback has not hidden his goal of bringing a Super Bowl to the franchise, despite his place in the 53-man roster not being guaranteed.

During the Browns' rookie minicamp, the quarterback gave an exclusive interview to the team's YouTube channel. He was asked what he wanted Browns fans to know about him.

"I work hard, and I love the game of football," Sanders said. "That's all you really need to know, and you know I ain't disrespectful. I don't have off-the-field problems. So those three main things, that equals success."

Despite a heavy fall during the draft, Shedeur remains positive about the opportunity to play in the NFL. He was the sixth quarterback taken in the 2025 class and the second by Cleveland. The Browns took Dillon Gabriel from Oregon two rounds before Shedeur.

Shedeur Sanders says he's "trying to bring a Super Bowl" to the Cleveland Browns

One of the things he has had a positive influence on since being drafted by the Browns is the community. He made a surprise appearance at a local high school, and voiced his goal of bringing a Super Bowl to the city.

"I just wanted to come out and see y'all. We working out every day. We've got a purpose, we've got something we're trying to accomplish and achieve. What inspires me to keep going? I would say, knowing that I've got a lot of people watching me. Knowing that I'm a positive influence to the youth. I'm trying to bring Cleveland a Super Bowl."

Although the Browns have four NFL championships, none have been in the Super Bowl era. They have not won a title since the 1964 season and have never made a Super Bowl appearance.
