Shedeur Sanders hits Dallas clubs with rumored girlfriend and Kodak Black after Browns end NFL Draft freefall
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 after his name was finally called.
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.
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.
It's time to be legendary. ⌚️ @ShedeurSanders @Browns

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.

Bella Hadid channels Jessica Simpson's Daisy Duke as she showcases her legs in micro shorts
Bella Hadid showcased her model's legs as she went on a snack run in Aspen on Sunday. The runway beauty, 28, who seemed to joining a little downtime after working at Cannes and in London, stepped out in very short denim shorts, aka Daisy Dukes, similar to those worn by Jessica Simpson in The Dukes of Hazard two decades ago. Hadid had the good sense to wear something a little more comfortable than high heels favored by the fictional Daisy, and opted for a pair of brown sheepskin micro Uggs. She covered up in a white T-shirt and a red 'letterman' type jacket with white stripes. Her long, blonde hair was styled straight and she seemed to be wearing full makeup behind her large framed sunglasses. After gassing up her luxury SUV, the cover model took off for her next adventure in the tony mountain town favored by the rich and famous, especially for winter skiing. It was unclear if Hadid was enjoying a girls trip with friends, or a vacation with her boyfriend, Adan Banuelos. The fashionista has been dating the horse trainer, 37, since October 2023. In an interview with British Vogue that her boyfriend was unaware of her fame when they first met. 'For me, that was such a breath of fresh air,' the ___ revealed. The two met when she hired him to train her to work with cutting horses, a specialized style of riding that allows a rider to separate cattle from a herd in a controlled and skillful manner. 'He's the youngest Mexican cowboy to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame, ' she bragged, hinting at a possible future. 'He works for his family, he works for his customers and he works to hopefully build a home and a family one day.' 'Our biggest dream is to have a summer camp for children,' she said of one of their goals. 'Being in a relationship – he works so much, I work so much – we come together to have these conversations,' she said. 'He knows my passion is philanthropy. I think that's where I struggle being in this world of so much stimulation. I always feel overstimulated and I wish I could just be somewhere helping everybody,' she said. She covered up in a white T-shirt and a red 'letterman' type jacket with white stripes. Her long, blonde hair was styled straight and she seemed to be wearing full makeup behind her sunglasses Hadid has been outspoken in her support for the Palestinian people in the ongoing conflict with Israel that has killed more than 54,000 men, women and children since October 7, 2023. 'I think I would wake up in the morning feeling better every day if I could wake up for somebody else, and not for something that meant that I was in a photograph or for me to make more money. I wish I could just be somebody for somebody else,' she explained. Another of Hadid's goals is motherhood. 'I can't wait to be a mom. I think that I'm somebody for a lot of people, but in the real intimate way of being the person that somebody can count on consistently, that will change my life for me. And I cannot wait.'

I'm married but fell pregnant with my handsome ex's baby after passionate nights of sex
DEAR DEIDRE: MY gorgeous ex has wormed his way back into my life and now I'm expecting his baby. I've blown up my world for a few hours of passion while my husband was away. After five years of marriage I thought I was happy. We have a daughter of four and my husband recently got a promotion which meant he had to retrain and was out of the country for two whole months. He's not as handsome as my ex but he's a lovely guy. I split up with my ex after he cheated on me with my friend. I was 19 at the time. I'm now 28 and my husband is 32. My ex, who's 30, contacted me through social media saying he had something to tell me. I stupidly thought there would be no harm seeing him so arranged a babysitter and met him in a pub. I recognised him immediately. His dazzling smile and his trendy hair-cut — he was still on-point. He bought me a drink, saying he was sorry for hurting me all those years ago. He asked about my job and what I'd been doing. I didn't tell him I was married. I fancied him all over again. He invited me back to his new apartment overlooking the river and he told me he'd never stopped thinking about me. I've never felt as desirable as when he kissed me passionately that night. We had sex and it was like old times. We met a few times after that and always ended the evening with sex at his place. We used protection so I was horrified last week to discover that I'm pregnant. I don't know how it happened but the condom must have failed. It's definitely his. I'm in a mess. DEIDRE SAYS: This guy was history but your husband and daughter are the family that you love. You're on the edge of jeopardising life as you know it. If you go through with the pregnancy, your ex will be responsible for looking after this child financially and preferably emotionally too. How do you think he'd react to the news? You could choose to forget the dates and try to pass this off as your husband's baby but secrets have a habit of getting out. If the dates are way out, people are going to ask questions. My support pack called Unplanned Pregnancy will show you where to find support in deciding your next steps. I DREAM OF WORLD'S END WHILE I SHUT MYSELF AWAY DEAR DEIDRE: I SEEM to have cut myself off from my family and friends by withdrawing socially. It is not because they have done anything wrong, but more because I don't feel the need for interaction. Given a choice, I'll plump to read or watch TV alone. I am a 42-year-old single woman and I live by myself. Recently, I've had a lack of interest in anything and anyone, and don't want to engage in activities that usually interest me. I've even started fantasising that there will be another world war as I am fed up paying bills and dealing with people. Debts and working are also contributing to my mood. Even if the world ended today, I would be happy and excited. I hate it as it is now, and I am bored. I also keep cleaning my flat in the hope that it will help me focus and be happier, but it never does. Do other people feel the same or is there something wrong with me? DEIDRE SAYS: It can be upsetting to feel apathetic and unmotivated, and it could be a sign of depression, anxiety or being overwhelmed. It is important that you talk to your doctor about how this lack of interest is affecting you. Feeling bored with life at times is normal, especially if faced with monotonous routines or a sense of emptiness. My support pack, Defeat Depression, explains more. FLOP IN BED DUE TO WORK STRESS DEAR DEIDRE: GOING on holiday improves my physical health and then my erections return. As soon as I'm home, they disappear. My job as a police sergeant is stressful. I'm married and I'm 47. We've had some issues with sex in the past couple of years but we've always managed to do things that appeal to both my wife and I. We went to Norfolk earlier in the year and had great sex. Recently we went to Dubai and I had no problems in the bedroom while we were there. But this week, I'm back at work and I don't wake up with that 'morning glory' like I used to. DEIDRE SAYS: When we take a break from our normal day-to-day concerns, holidays do exactly what they are supposed to do – they recharge the batteries as we enjoy a change of scene. If you're waking up when you're away with morning erections, then you know that everything is working as it should be. A lack of erection once or twice can quickly become a self-fulfilling prophecy; you worry once and it happens again and again. My support pack on Solving Erection Problems will help but in the short-term, do read my pack called Sex Play Therapy, which has exercises recommended by sex therapists. There is no pressure to have full sex for a few weeks but it will help those feelings of arousal to return naturally. SHE MONITORS MY EVERY MOVE DEAR DEIDRE: TECHNICALLY, I cheated on my girlfriend when we first met and now she watches me like a hawk. We weren't official though and my other relationship was petering out. I hardly saw my previous girlfriend and it was only a matter of time before I plucked up the courage to tell her we were over. What I hadn't told her was that I'd found a new love interest at work. My colleague was 24 when she joined our tech desk. My computer was constantly on the blink and she always seemed to be there when I needed help. I'm 29 and I really fancied this girl so I invited her out. We must have had half a dozen dates – and sex – before I asked her to make it official. We've been getting along great and I think she could be the one but one Saturday morning in bed, she was asking about my exes and I got confused with the dates and let it slip that I was seeing her and my ex at the same time. Now she wants to check my phone, she's got me on Find My Friends and won't let me go anywhere without her. It's getting too much. DEIDRE SAYS: Many people still assume you're a free agent if you're dating them or having sex with them, so it's always best to spell it out that you're looking for something casual. Technical details aside, in her eyes you've broken her trust and you're going to have to come clean and ask for forgiveness. Explain that you regret you weren't more open but that you want to fully commit now. Understand that she's feeling insecure and allow her time to realise you're not an unfaithful type. Read through my support pack, How To Look After Your Relationship, to get the best out of what you have together. Things may look different in a few months.

Lionel Messi's changing room conduct emerges as ex-team-mate tells all
Ex-Barcelona star Marc Bartra has opened up about the intense drive and high standards of the legendary Lionel Messi. The defender shared a dressing room with the Argentine icon at the Catalan giants for six years. Bartra, who rose through the ranks at La Masia alongside Messi and spent his early professional years at Camp Nou, has since moved on to play for Borussia Dortmund and is currently in his second spell at Real Betis. He recently contested the Europa Conference League final against Chelsea, losing 4-1. The ex-Spain international has now spoken out about his time with Messi during the latter's golden years at Barcelona. Appearing on the Spanish TV show Viajando con Chester, hosted by Risto Mejide, Bartra revealed insights into Messi's self-criticism and relentless pursuit of excellence. He recounted witnessing Messi berate himself for errors made on the pitch, even to the point of swearing and tugging at his own shirt in frustration, before making an immediate amends when he took to the field again. Bartra recalled Messi's reaction after missing a penalty, saying: "He has had bad moments on a football field. I've seen him in a dressing room swearing at himself and pulling his shirt for missing a penalty. I heard him saying, 'What have I done?' "Then he would come out in the second half and be the best, dominating the field. That's what made him the best. Beyond technique, it's about getting up again. "It is about knowing what to do with what happens to you, what solution you bring to what you encounter. Not playing the victim, but taking it with responsibility." Messi's passion for the game and winning attitude were also echoed by Josef Martinez, another former team-mate who played with the Argentine maestro at Inter Miami, reports the Mirror US. The Venezuelan, who briefly shared a changing room with Messi in Florida before moving to CF Montreal, was taken aback by the Argentine superstar's down-to-earth nature and meticulous habits. "Everything changed in a day. I swear. It was shocking," said Martinez. "You see him sitting there, and he's the most normal person I've ever seen in my life, and he's famous. "Not even God is as well-known as he is. Seeing him sitting there was something impressive: folding his shirt, matching his uniform with his watch, and shoes with his shirt. "He would sit down, and you'd say: 'Wow!' He'd greet you normally. That, despite being a guy who has won everything, he always arrived first for training." Martinez continued, adding that Messi raised the standards of everyone in his squad, as he claimed: "He was great with us, he was great with me. And you felt you had to be at his same level."
