The start to Shedeur Sanders' NFL career has single-handedly taken over the sports world amid the NBA and NHL playoffs in full swing. On top of all the headlines, a prank call set up by the son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and a 55-year-old Atlanta man suing the NFL over emotional distress for Sanders’ draft slide has added intrigue to the situation.

Vardell was known as “Touchdown Tommy” in college, and was solid during his first two seasons with Cleveland, logging 1,013 yards on 270 carries and three touchdowns. His final two seasons, however, were limited by injuries and resulted in 19 carries through 10 games.

The Browns signed Joe Flacco in free agency, but used draft stock to acquire the team's other three signal callers. Cleveland sent a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles alongside Dorian Thompson-Robinson in order to acquire Kenny Pickett, then used a third-round pick to select Dillon Gabriel.
