White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested in a briefing Monday that President Donald Trump deserves credit for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders securing a team spot after four rounds.

The press secretary noted that the Cleveland Browns drafted the QB after the president put out a statement, saying, “the facts speak for themselves."

The 2025 draft slide of Shedeur Sanders became a huge talking point around the NFL, and even beyond the sports world. Sanders was eventually drafted by the Cleveland Browns in Round 5, but not before the President of the United States addressed the situation on his social media platform.
