ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. was criticized again for favoring Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders over others, including the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

During a Tuesday appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky explained why he disagrees with the Browns' reported quarterback
