Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders recently addressed rumors sparked by a viral video on social media. The video, posted on X, depicted a custom Rolls-Royce being delivered via flatbed tow truck to an unspecified home.
Although Sanders’ face briefly appeared on a phone screen within the clip, it was not confirmed whether the vehicle or property belonged to him. Speculation quickly followed, particularly given the car’s estimated $500,000 value.

As the video gained widespread attention online, Sanders took to social media to deny any involvement. In a post on X, he wrote, “Another lie…. I’m focused on my team not a car purchase!” His response directly refuted the claims, aiming to clear the air and redirect focus toward his professional goals with the Browns rather than any extravagant purchases.

His fall in the draft was notable, as some analysts had projected him as high as a No. 2 overall pick. Despite the unexpected slide, the contract guarantees Sanders over $4.6 million, with a base salary of $840,000 set for 2025, according to financial tracking site Spotrac.
Sanders Competes Hard for Roster Spot Amid Intense Browns Quarterback Depth Battle
With no guaranteed spot on the final 53-man roster, Sanders is focused on proving his worth during training camp. He has already begun participating in offseason activities with the team. Acknowledging the pressure and media attention, Sanders said he stays grounded thanks to the lessons instilled by his father and guidance from coaches and mentors within the Browns organization.
Sanders is one of four healthy quarterbacks currently vying for a spot on the Browns’ roster, alongside Dillon Gabriel (listed twice in reports), Joe Flacco, and the injured Deshaun Watson, who is unlikely to play in 2025. The competition for the backup and future starting roles is expected to be fierce, making Sanders’ focus and performance in the coming months critical to his NFL future.
