Fan suing NFL for $100 million for trauma caused from Shedeur Sanders slide to Browns

The Cleveland Browns ended one of the most discussed draft slides in NFL history when they selected Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. The polarizing quarterback was widely expected to be a first-round pick, but several off-field instances in the draft process, specifically bad meetings with teams led to his dramatic slide. His dad probably didn't help the cause, either.

Sanders and his family weren't the only ones who dealt with the stress of draft weekend, apparently. Per Sports Illustrated, a fan is suing the NFL for $100 million for "intentional emotional distress and trauma."

Now, will this go anywhere? Certainly not. But the fact that someone is willing to even make this a thing tells you just how unheard of this kind of slide is in the history of the NFL Draft.
