Yet, it appears the quarterback learned a lot from the draft process and falling to the fifth round.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions last season with the Buffaloes as he led them to a bowl game appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Browns GM says Shedeur Sanders &#8216;wants to be great&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Although Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round, the quarterback has a chance to compete for a starting job.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/cleveland-browns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cleveland<\/a> traded up in the fifth round to select Sanders, and Browns general manager expects Sanders to come in and compete for the starting job.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We felt good with him as a person,&#8221; Berry said Saturday, via ESPN. &#8220;He works hard. He&#8217;s a really good kid. He wants to be great.
