Sanders was rated as the No. 23 overall player and the No. 2 quarterback in the class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. His slide out of Days 1 and 2 was the story of the draft as he fell to the fifth round and was the sixth quarterback taken at No. 144 overall.

The start to Shedeur Sanders' NFL career has single-handedly taken over the sports world amid the NBA and NHL playoffs in full swing. On top of all the headlines, a prank call set up by the son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and a 55-year-old Atlanta man suing the NFL over emotional distress for Sanders’ draft slide has added intrigue to the situation.

Vardell was known as “Touchdown Tommy” in college, and was solid during his first two seasons with Cleveland, logging 1,013 yards on 270 carries and three touchdowns. His final two seasons, however, were limited by injuries and resulted in 19 carries through 10 games.
