Travis Kelce Says He Loves Shedeur Sanders to Browns in 2025 NFL Draft After Slide

Add Travis Kelce to the list of people praising the Cleveland Browns' selection of Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft.

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast (starts at 24:24 mark), Kelce explained he "loves" the Sanders pick for Cleveland because the team gets a "swag champ that works his ass off, that has something to prove now" and "he's got that chip on his shoulder."

Even though Kelce plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, he did acknowledge there is some homerism involved with his adoration for this selection since he was born and raised in Cleveland Heights.

There aren't many people who had anything negative to say about the Browns getting Sanders with the 144th overall pick.

B/R's Kristopher Knox wrote that for all of the outside noise surrounding Sanders and his pre-draft process, being able to get a "borderline first-round talent" in the fifth round "is a steal under almost any circumstance."

It also comes with no risk at all for the Browns. Sanders' rookie contract is worth an estimated $4.65 million over four years. They could easily get out of the deal if things don't pan out.

If Sanders ends up hitting since he generally regarded as a borderline first-round talent, the Browns will have one of the best bargain contracts in the NFL at a time when they are badly in need of a low-cost option at quarterback with Deshaun Watson's deal still on the books.

Unfortunately for Kelce, he won't get to see Sanders in person this season since the Browns aren't among Kansas City's opponents in 2025.
