The Cleveland Browns did end up drafting Shedeur Sanders. However, it wasn't in the first round. Or the second, third or even the fourth round.
The Browns selected Sanders at No. 144 overall in the fifth round, which was a shocking development for a QB-needy team such as Cleveland.
It was a tough fall for Sanders, who was at one time even in the No. 1 overall pick selection and had first-round grades by many going into the NFL Draft.
Yet, here we are as reality set in for the former Colorado Buffaloes star and the son of Deion Sanders.
Still, Sanders is going to the NFL and trying to earn a roster spot with Cleveland, although there are some obstacles in the way due to a loaded QB room.
Well, the Sanders hype is still real.
One day after the NFL Draft ended, Delta Airlines revealed a new ad with Sanders as he inks an endorsement deal with the airlines which was announced on Delta's TikTok.

"It's time to keep climbing," Sanders said while rocking a Delta Airlines sweatshirt.
The video was also posted on Delta's Instagram account with a caption that read, "This journey is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to watch you soar. Keep Climbing."
Even with Sanders falling far in the draft and his NFL future being hit with plenty of questions, the airlines is making him part of an endorsement deal, so it's a sweet move for the former Buffs star.
