Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders and fellow 2025 NFL draft rookie Dillon Gabriel may be long-term keepers for the Cleveland Browns.

Without confirming it in their own words, Cleveland tanked in the Hue Jackson era to receive the No. 1 overall selections in both the 2017 and 2018 NFL Drafts, which turned into Myles Garrett and Baker Mayfield. Current general manager Andrew Berry was in the role of vice president of player personnel for the Browns at that time.

Deion, 57, vocally supported Watson in October 2024 in the wake of his initial Achilles injury, which drew some cheers from the Cleveland faithful. Watson “is only too happy to repay the favor” to Deion by mentoring his son, per the report.
