Former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders had roughly $200,000 worth of property stolen during a break-in at his home Sunday evening, according to reports. 

This came as the Cleveland Browns' rookie was making his NFL debut in place of the injuried Dillon Gabriel. 

According to ESPN, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office stated that three individuals wearing masks entered Sanders' home at approximately 6:46 p.m. ET. Surveillance video showed the group navigating various parts of the house before departing roughly 12 minutes later, taking stolen goods with them. The inquiry is still active.

Sanders, selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, inked a four-year agreement earlier this year valued at $4.6 million. This contract featured a $446k signing bonus. 

Sanders completed 4-of-16 passes for 47 yards with an interception and was sacked twice. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will start Sunday at Las Vegas if Gabriel remains in the concussion protocol.

The incident adds to a rising number of burglaries targeting high-profile athletes, including Luka Doncic, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Sanders, a former Colorado star and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner, entered the league after breaking more than 100 school records in two seasons.
