Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is now a college graduate
Since May has arrived, we have entered graduation season. For many graduates or soon-to-be graduates, the stress and anxiety of finishing college will be replaced by the stress and anxiety of finding a job.
Good times.
But at least Shedeur Sanders knows he has some kind of job — yes, even if it’s with the Cleveland Browns — and he was smiling as he joined his classmates and graduated from the University of Colorado.

Do you need a college degree in this day and age? It depends on what you want to do.

But it made me wonder: Is he the first player in history to have his number retired? Later to graduate? It could be.
You’d think schools would want to add someone to their list of distinguished alumni before hoisting their jerseys, but things are different now.
