Shedeur Sanders hits Dallas clubs with rumored girlfriend and Kodak Black after Browns mercifully end his NFL Draft humiliation

He may not have been selected in the first round, but Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders sure celebrated like a top draft pick on Saturday night by busting out a chest full of $100 bills at a Dallas club.

Sanders celebrated his selection into the NFL with a star-studded party at Dallas nightclub Hyde & Seek after the Browns chose him with the 144th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The former Colorado quarterback stayed up past 2:00 in the morning with friends and family - including his older siblings Deiondra and Deion Jr - according to Page Six.

Also joining in the celebration were his rumored girlfriend, Jamaican dancehall star Shenseea, as well as rappers Kodak Black, Yung Miami, and TrapBoyFreddy.

Sanders celebrated with multiple Louis Vuitton briefcases full of money while the DJ bumped popular hip hop tunes.

Bottle girls arrived in his section with a lit up sign that read '5TH ROUND PICK' as Don Julio 1942 tequila and Ace of Spades champagne bottles were passed around for his guests, as seen in a video.

But don't assume Sanders was inebriated in the clip. As he revealed on his podcast back in February, he's actually a teetotaler.

'I don't drink. I don't do that type of stuff. It's not like too much I couldn't do. Dad gave us the freedom, I'll say, to do what we wanted to do to bump our heads a little bit when we were younger to get back on the track.'

In addition to the briefcases, Shedeur was seen sporting a brand new 'iced-out' chain around his neck.

Yung Miami, one of the members of the popular female rap group City Girls, performed her song 'Act Up' for the audience.

Kodak Black got into the DJ booth and congratulated his 'brother' Shedeur on making it to the NFL.

He was also seen climbing into a cage set up for a pole dancer, sitting beside her as it began twisting around in the air.

But Sanders was at the center of it all: celebrating his accomplishment surrounded by loved ones and stars alike.

Sanders would have been looking at a $40 million rookie deal had he been drafted among the first 10 picks, but is instead looking at a four-year deal worth about $4.6 million, including a $446,553 signing bonus, according to the NFL rookie salary scale.

His arrival to the NFL came much later than anyone - including Shedeur - may have expected.

The quarterback had been left to watch at his home in Texas as he slid down the draft boards in the first round.

Going into the day of the draft, Sanders was a projected first round pick after previously being mocked as a top-3 pick just months prior.

But Sanders wasn't chosen by anyone at all on Thursday and his misery continued during the second and third rounds.

Sanders was helpless again as he watched three other quarterbacks selected ahead of him on Friday.

His wait finally ended just after 2pm on Saturday, when the Browns selected the ex-Colorado star with the sixth pick of the fifth round - putting an end to one of the most stunning sagas in the history of the NFL Draft.

Months ago, Sanders was believed to be picked early because the teams with the top three selections - the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants - were all in need of quarterbacks.

But the Giants signed free agents Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the offseason, mostly filling their needs at the position for this season.

The Titans were long sold on Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who they took first overall on Thursday night.

Then, the Browns decided to trade down in the draft - giving the Jacksonville Jaguars the second pick.

Jacksonville chose to draft Sanders' teammate, Heisman winner Travis Hunter, second overall instead.

Rather than bulking up the QB position with Sanders, the Giants made a smart decision and took the best available player in the draft: Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter.

The Browns, with the fifth pick they got from Jacksonville, also took a defensive lineman in Michigan product Mason Graham.

As the first round ticked on, it seemed that any chance for Sanders to be picked rested on the hope that a team would trade up to take him.

So when the Giants traded up to the 25th overall pick, many believed that this was their chance to select Sanders as their 'quarterback of the future'.

The Giants did end up selecting a QB. But rather than Sanders, they chose Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss.

A dejected looking Sanders was seen slightly upset after that pick came through as his night didn't go as expected.

That night, with friends and family surrounding him, Sanders addressed the disappointment.

The 23-year-old spoke to his loved ones about his snub, admitting 'we all didn't expect this, of course'.

But Sanders tried to remain upbeat, insisting he would be 'happy' regardless of what happens in the upcoming rounds of the draft.

'I feel like with God, anything is possible, everything is possible,' he said. 'I feel like this happened for no reason - all this is is of course fuel to the fire and under no circumstance we all know this shouldn't happen.

'But we understand we're on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow is the day, we're going to be happy regardless, legendary.'

Entering Friday night, many expected Sanders to be taken with the first pick of the second round by the Cleveland Browns. Instead, the Browns passed on him at picks 33 and 36.

Then, in a complete shock, the New Orleans Saints selected Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough with the 40th pick.

No other quarterbacks were taken in the rest of the second round, leaving draft analysts confounded by how far Sanders had fallen.

Then came the chaos of the third round. With the 28th pick of the round and the 92nd pick overall, the Seattle Seahawks chose Alabama's Jalen Milroe in a stunner.

But then two picks later, in perhaps the most staggering development of the night, the Browns took a quarterback by selecting Oregon gunslinger Dillon Gabriel.

Gabriel had been projected by ESPN's Mel Kiper as the eighth best quarterback in the draft class - making this an absolutely mindboggling decision.

That stunning second and third round turn of events comes on the same day that President Donald Trump took some time away from his duties to post on social media about the quarterback's dramatic tumble.

'What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID?' Trump wrote in his latest Truth Social rant. 'Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart!

'Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness.

'He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!'

All season long at Colorado, he showed off his prowess as a pocket passer, benefited from a great connection with Hunter and tossed for over 4,100 yards and for 37 touchdowns.

While his willingness to take contact in order to make plays is a sign that he’s good in uncomfortable situations in the pocket. When the pocket holds up, his accuracy and arm strength makes him a threat in short, medium, and long-range passes.

But he’s been prone to taking sacks in the name of making plays and doesn’t use his athleticism to avoid hits as much as he should.

Sanders has been called a ‘high floor’ product. Whether or not he can raise his ceiling in the NFL remains to be seen.
