Summary

The NFL is investigating Shedeur Sanders' private phone number leak that led to a prank draft call during Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft, with a video showing him confused by the call as the Saints selected another player. Despite being undrafted until the Browns' fifth-round pick (144th overall), Sanders remained unfazed, stating he didn't let the incident affect his mindset. The Browns acquired Sanders via a trade, marking his sixth NFL start and second Cleveland selection after drafting Gabriel with the 94th pick. Coach Kevin Stefanski criticized the prank callers, calling them "people are morons" and "sad."
