Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders has shown marked improvement during offseason workouts and mandatory minicamp, delivering high completion rates, touchdown passes and aggressive throws.
  • Despite his rise, Sanders remains fourth on the depth chart behind Dillon Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.
  • General manager Andrew Berry said the Browns could carry all four quarterbacks into the regular season, making roster spots for both Sanders and Gabriel likely.
  • Insiders and former players, including Jeremy Fowler, Chad Johnson and Herm Edwards, have highlighted Sanders’ poise, arm talent and respect from veterans like Denzel Ward.
  • Coaches are set to finalize a clearer pecking order at training camp, with veteran roles and potential trades for backup quarterbacks still under consideration.
