Shedeur Sanders continues to deal with trolls on social media even as he prepares for the 2025 NFL season. The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback became a hot topic around the league even before he was drafted by the AFC North franchise.

Following his dramatic slide in the 2025 edition of the draft, a lot was said about him. Sanders was selected with the No. 144 overall pick in the fifth round of the three-day event, which raised many eyebrows around the competition.

Now that he's trying to settle in with his new team, where he'll have to compete against four other quarterbacks for the starting role, Sanders is also dealing with an unexpected situation in the form of fake news.

After an NFL aggregator called Dov Kleiman claimed on Sunday that Shedeur Sanders had purchased a custom Rolls-Royce worth more than $500K, which the player denied via X on Monday.

"On Twitter replying to tweets and not watching film ? Not a good look," another fan said.
"I’ve never seen a 5th rounder more worried about his perception that he is tweeting to an AI NFL account," another fan said.

Others sided with Sanders and offered him encouraging messages regardless of whether that report was true.

"Haters trying real hard to tear you down! Keep grinding!" one fan said.

"Grifters. Keep doing what you are doing. You and God know the real, you are here to prove and work not play. They just want the impressions," another fan said.
"Even if you did get a car, who gives af if the money you spend doesn’t hurt anyone and it’s not distracting you from football," another fan wrote.

Did Shedeur Sanders attend Travis Hunter's wedding?

Another uncomfortable situation Shedeur Sanders had to deal with this week involved Travis Hunter's wedding. The Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback/wide receiver tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Leannaa Lenee in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Saturday.
