Selected 144th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders started the final seven games for Cleveland, completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also rushed for 169 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries, helping the Browns go 3-4 in games he started.
This marks the fourth year of the Pro Bowl Games, which replaced the NFL’s traditional full-contact all-star game with weeklong skills competitions and a flag football matchup. The events will take place in San Francisco leading up to the Super Bowl, with Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (NFC) and Steve Young (AFC) coaching the teams in the Feb. 3 flag football showdown.
