Three Individuals Arrested In Connection To Break-In At Shedeur Sanders’ Home
Written by b87fm on 01/08/2026
Nearly two months after burglars targeted the home of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders during his rookie season, authorities say arrests have now been made in the case.
According to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio, three suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the November break-in, along with the alleged driver of the getaway vehicle. A fourth suspect remains at large, with a warrant issued for his arrest. Investigators say the case is otherwise closed and that no additional suspects are being sought.
The burglary occurred on Nov. 16 while Sanders was making his on-field debut for the Browns against the Baltimore Ravens. Authorities say the suspects entered Sanders’ home in Granger Township — a quiet suburb outside Cleveland — during the game. Surveillance footage shows the individuals wearing masks and gloves, entering the residence and leaving in under 15 minutes.
Investigators believe the group stole more than $200,000 worth of personal property from the home.
Sanders Responds With Composure
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Sanders addressed the situation publicly and struck a calm, measured tone — a response that mirrored the maturity he showed throughout his rookie campaign.
“Mentally and emotionally, I’m in a great place overall,” Sanders said at the time. “In life, there’s always gonna be adversity, and things aren’t always gonna go as planned. But I would say I’m prepared for anything.”

That composure became a defining trait of Sanders’ first season in the NFL.
A Rookie Year Under the Microscope
Selected in the fifth round out of Colorado, Sanders entered the league carrying both high expectations and heavy scrutiny as the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. After beginning the season as a backup, he took over as the Browns’ full-time starter on Nov. 23.
Sanders finished his rookie year with 1,400 passing yards and seven touchdowns, helping Cleveland close the season on a two-game winning streak with victories over division rivals Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
Throughout the year, Sanders navigated constant attention surrounding his draft slide, last name, and the Browns’ inconsistent offense — all while maintaining professionalism in press conferences and interviews.
Leadership Beyond the Stat Sheet
One of Sanders’ most notable moments came after a 26–8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, when he was asked about then-head coach Kevin Stefanski’s aggressive fourth-down decisions that backfired. Rather than deflecting blame, Sanders chose accountability.
“I like being out there playing,” he said. “Whatever that comes with, it comes with. We’re not gonna ever point fingers at coach or do anything like that. That’s extremely disrespectful, and that’s not even my place.”
He added, “I’m thankful that he trusts us as an offense to go out there and execute. Did we execute? No, we didn’t. But I’m thankful for that trust.”
What’s Next for Cleveland
Stefanski was fired on Monday, Jan. 5, and the Browns are now searching for a new head coach. With a fresh coaching regime on the horizon and the burglary case nearing resolution, Sanders enters the offseason having already demonstrated resilience, leadership, and poise — qualities that extend far beyond the football field.
As his rookie year showed, adversity hasn’t slowed Shedeur Sanders down. If anything, it’s sharpened him.
