Shedeur Sanders<\/a> and the Cleveland Browns<\/a> fell short of expectations during the 2025 NFL<\/a> season, finishing 5-12 and missing the playoffs for a second straight year. The Browns, however, closed the season on a strong note, securing back-to-back wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> and Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sanders, following his college career at Colorado, was picked in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, becoming one of two quarterbacks the Browns selected alongside Dillon Gabriel<\/a>. After Cleveland opened the season 2-8 under Joe Flacco<\/a> and Gabriel, Sanders was named the starting quarterback in Week 12 and finished the year with a 3-4 record as the team\u2019s starter.<\/p>\n

And while Sanders tallied more wins in 2025 than any other Browns quarterback, his numbers tell a story of inconsistency and rookie stumbles. He completed 120-of-212 passes (56.6%) for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions, adding another 169 yards and a score on the ground.<\/p>\n

Away from football, Sanders has expanded his portfolio through partnerships with major brands such as Nike, Gatorade and Mercedes-Benz. This week, he added another deal, teaming up<\/a> with Browns running back Ahmani Marshall\u2019s clothing brand, Peaceful Struggle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Sanders awaits his second NFL season, hoping to retain the starting quarterback role, the Browns will look to address their roster needs in free agency and in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting with the No. 6 overall pick.<\/p>\n
