Cleveland Browns pulled in the trigger by taking Kasteur Sanders after his historic slide in the NFL draft.

But some fans are skeptical of the team’s enthusiasm for the player based on the reactions of Brown’s Leadership after the selection.

ESPN shooting by Brown’s main coach Kevin Stefanski and General Manager Andrew Berry showed light golf flaps with glossy facial expressions in the team’s war room after Sanders was elected.

Berry escaped with half a wrinkle.

Many fans on social media questioned how enthusiastic team brass was actually about taking the controversial view.

“They look enthusiastic. Expected someone their hand?” An X user wrote in response to the recordings.

Another user expressed concern that Sanders may have been on a team whose management did not value him.

“This is even more disrespectful than not preparing him. By no means treating these guys throwing nuclear,” the user wrote.

On Bold Critic even suggested Berry and Stefanski gave a “reaction of shame.”

“This is a reaction of shame, they are embarrassed that they decided to participate in this collaboration, participated in consciously and obviously screwed this child, but ends up drafting him,” it wrote it user.

Berry and Stefasnki later explained the selection of Sanders to journalists at a press conference. Berry suggested that draft of Sanders “wasn’t necessarily the plan” after taking quarterback Dillon Gabriel in a previous round and he didn’t think Sanders would be available in the fifth round.

“It wasn’t necessarily the plan that went into the weekend to choose two quarterbacks, but you know, as we’re talking about, we believe in the best available player. We believe in position value. And we didn’t necessarily expect him to be available in the fifth round,” Berry said.

“So we love to add competition to any position room. So adding him to competing with the other guys already in there was the appropriate thing to do.”

While Berry was discussing the strategy behind drafting Sanders, Berry said it was something Brown’s officials began to consider getting into the draft third day.

“It was something that went in today three of the draft with him that was still on the board, it was a thought like, ‘Well, you know, depending on how far he goes, it would be something we would be interested in potentially removing him from the board,'” Berry said.

“When names continued to come from the board and we saw how we were located, we just felt that the value was there.”

Berry added that the interview experience with Sanders was “positive” in the middle of reports that Quarterback interviewed badly for several NFL teams.

Before Saturday, the relationship between the Browns and the Sanders family was not all flattering compliments.

Shedeur’s father, Colorado football coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, once suggested that a young quarterback refuse to play for Cleveland in 2018, which Eli Manning refused to play for chargers in 2004.

“I love what Browns have done this season, but if I’m a young QB, I’m not in any way I go to Cleveland. I would pull an Eli Manning if possible,” Deion wrote in a Twitter post in March 2018.

However, Deion also contested the notion that Shedeur may not play for Browns after a rumor appeared last season.

“A lie doesn’t care who tells it. Stop trying to become relevant by wrongly representing my son. God bless you,” Deion wrote in response to a post circulating the rumor.
