Prognosticators universally viewed Shedeur Sanders as a potential first-round draft pick after his strong career at Colorado. Instead, five quarterbacks were selected before him before the Browns used their fifth-round pick to draft him. Cleveland even passed on him two rounds earlier when it selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third.

The first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night averaged 13.6 million viewers across television and digital platforms, according to the league and Nielsen. The numbers from Friday night's coverage (Rounds 2 & 3) averaged 7.

In a twist few saw coming just months ago, Shedeur Sanders—the son of NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders—has been added to the Toronto Argonauts’ exclusive CFL negotiation list, giving the Canadian club first dibs if the quarterback pivots north of the border.
