The future is bright for Sanders and the Browns. For now, however, he must keep his sights set on what’s immediately ahead. The 144th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will want to bounce back on Sunday when they face the Buffalo Bills for a Week 16 matchup.

Allen, whom the Browns passed on at No. 1 overall in 2018 in favor of Baker Mayfield, is No. 4 in the NFL with a 104.3 rating, and No. 2 with a 70.0 completion percentage. Contrast that with Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders, who’s 46th with a 68.1 rating, and 48th with a 52.2 completion percentage as he heads into his fifth NFL start.
