Prior to the Ravens' win over the Browns on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Ravens were actually planning to draft quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft. While Sanders was expected to go in the first round of the draft, he ended up free-falling to the fifth round.
Though the Ravens planned to take Sanders, he reportedly let them know he didn't want them to draft him because he would then be a backup to Lamar Jackson, with practically no chance at becoming a starter anytime in the near future.
