US EditionBrowns Owner Jimmy Haslam Says Drafting Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders in Fifth Round Was GM's Decision
CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 29 – Browns owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed general manager Andrew Berry made the decision to draft Shedeur Sanders amid speculation of ownership influence, clarifying the team's draft process.
- Despite comments by Eric Mangini, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam denied Tuesday that he influenced general manager Andrew Berry’s fifth-round pick of Shedeur Sanders during this spring's Draft.
- Last week, speculation grew when the Browns passed on Sanders six times, fueled by Mangini's suggestion that owner Jimmy Haslam influenced the draft, leading many to believe ownership orchestrated the pick.
- Speaking to reporters Friday, Haslam said they saw 'good value' at the No. pick and emphasized, 'At the end of the day, that's Andrew Berry's call.'
- Amid training camp, the additions of Sanders and Gabriel with Pickett and Flacco created a four-man QB competition this summer, and Haslam said he’s pleased with Sanders after he began camp fourth on the depth chart.
- Amid a 3-14 season, the Cleveland Browns stunned the NFL by drafting two quarterbacks within the first five rounds this year, signaling a bold strategy.
