After Haslam's statement, former NFL star Antonio Brown accused the Browns owner. Brown accused Haslam of being afraid to admit that he broke an agreement he had with the other 31 teams about not picking Shedeur. "Jimmy doesn't want to publicly admit he broke the agreement between the 31 other teams," Brown wrote.

After much speculation over who made the Shedeur Sanders pick — Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam or GM Andrew Berry — the former has set the record straight.
