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."

Shedeur Sanders’ slide in the 2025 NFL Draft was one of the biggest sports storylines of the year. The issue was so talked about that U.S. President Donald Trump even made a statement after Sanders wasn’t taken in the first couple of rounds.
