Travis Kelce Critiques NFL Draft Slide of Shedeur Sanders

Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce both expressed strong opinions regarding Shedeur Sanders' unexpected slide to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, where he was ultimately picked by the Cleveland Browns. Travis Kelce criticized the use of anonymous reports about Sanders' team interviews, arguing that on-field performance should have outweighed any such concerns and predicting Sanders could work his way to a starting role in Cleveland. Jason Kelce offered a more pragmatic view, stating that if teams truly believed Sanders had first-round talent, he would have been selected earlier despite any character questions, and noting that NFL teams often misjudge talent in the draft. Both brothers highlighted that the situation provides Sanders with motivation as he begins his NFL career. Their reactions underscore broader debates about how the NFL evaluates prospects, weighing off-field perceptions against talent and potential. The discussion also reflects Kelce's personal experiences, as he too once faced character concerns entering the league.
