The Cleveland Browns squeezed the trigger when taking Shedeur Sanders after their historical slide in the NFL draft.
But some fans are skeptical about the team’s enthusiasm by the player based on the reactions of the Browns leadership after the national team.
The ESPN images of the chief coach of the Browns, Kevin Stefanski, and General Manager Andrew Berry showed light golf applause with blank expressions in the team’s war room after the Sanders selection was announced.
Berry hunched out with no half -fried.

Many fans on social networks questioned how enthusiastic Brass was really of the controversial presentation.
“They seem excited. Did anyone force their hand?” An X user wrote in response to the images.
Another user expressed concern for Sanders possibly in a team whose leadership does not value him.
“This is even more disrespectful than not writing it. In any way these guys treat Shedeur fairly,” the user wrote.

In Bold Critic he even suggested that Berry and Stefanski gave a “reaction of shame.”
“This is a reaction of shame, they are ashamed that they have decided to participate in this collusion, they participated knowingly and obviously fuck this child, but they end up writing it,” that user wrote.
Berry and Stefasnki then explained the selection of Sanders to journalists at a press conference. Berry suggested that drawing Sanders “was not necessarily the plan” after taking the Dillon Gabriel Marshal in a previous round, and did not believe that Sanders would be available in the fifth round.
“It was not necessarily the plan to select two quarterbacks, but you know, how we talk, we believe in the best available player. We believe in the positional value. And we do not necessarily expect it to be available in the fifth round,” Berry said.
“So, we love adding competition to each position room. So, add it to compete with the other types that are already there, that was appropriate.”
While arguing the strategy behind Sanders’ writing, Berry said it was something that Browns officials began to consider entering the third day of the Draft.
“It was something, when entering the third day of the draft with him still on the board, it was a thought like: ‘Well, you know, depending on how far it came, that would be something that we would be interested in potentially getting it out of the board,” Berry said.

“As the names left the board, and we saw how we were positioned, we felt that the value was there.”
Berry added that the experience of the interview with Sanders was “positive” in the midst of the field marshal reported badly for multiple NFL teams.
Before Saturday, the relationship between the Browns and Sanders family was not all flattering.
The father of Shedeur, the Colorado football coach and the member of the NFL Deion Sanders Hall of Fame, once suggested that a young quarterback should refuse to play for Cleveland in 2018, the way in which Eli Manning refused to play for the chargers in 2004.
“I love what the Browns have done this low season, but if I am a young QB it is not in any way, I am going to Cleveland. I would pull an Eli Manning if possible,” Deion wrote on a March 2018 Twitter post.
However, Deion also played the notion that Shedeur might not play for the Browns after a rumor emerged last season.
“A lie does not care who says it. Please, stop trying to be relevant misrepresenting my son. God bless you,” Deion wrote in response to a publication that the rumor circulates.
