Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said he doesn’t think Colorado head coach Deion Sanders would intervene if they decided to draft his son, Shedeur Sanders, one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 class.
“Shedeur is a really impressive young man,” Berry said. “He’s poised, he’s calm, he’s smart and you can tell that he’s been raised by — quite honestly — a Hall of Fame dad. We’re going to get to know him even more over the course of the spring, but he’s really impressive.”
Since declaring for the draft, Shedeur Sanders has faced questions about his father’s involvement in the process. He told reporters at the East-West Shrine Bowl that he didn’t think having parents involved was a bad thing. Sanders said his father, Deion, called him several times to check in during Shrine Bowl week.
“He kept calling me,” Sanders said. “I told him at the end, it’s over with. I have to soar on my own.”
Last week in Arlington, Texas, Sanders met with the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Browns — the teams that hold the top three picks in the draft and are in the market for a quarterback.
The Browns currently have just two quarterbacks under contract in 2025 — Deshaun Watson, who might not be able to play this coming season after re-tearing his Achilles, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Watson, 29, just finished his third season with Cleveland after signing a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal in March 2022. He has started 19 games since the blockbuster trade with the Houston Texans.

The Cleveland Browns are not worried about potential interference from NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders if they choose to draft his son, Shedeur Sanders, in this year’s draft.
Despite Deion’s close relationship with his son and his involvement in his football career, the Browns are confident that they can make an independent decision based on Shedeur’s talent and fit within their team.
“We respect Deion Sanders and his legacy in the NFL, but ultimately our draft decisions are based on what is best for our team,” said Browns general manager Andrew Berry. “We believe Shedeur is a talented player who could contribute to our organization, and we will make the best choice for our team regardless of any external influences.”
While Deion Sanders has been vocal in his support for his son and desire to see him succeed in the NFL, the Browns are focused on evaluating Shedeur’s abilities and potential as a player. They are prepared to make a selection that aligns with their team’s needs and goals, regardless of any concerns about Deion’s involvement.
With the NFL draft quickly approaching, the Browns are staying focused on their scouting and evaluation process, confident in their ability to make the right choice for their team’s future.
