Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders is one of five quarterbacks vying for playing time, with veterans Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel ahead of him and Deshaun Watson sidelined by an Achilles injury.
  • The fifth-round pick has drawn praise from head coach Kevin Stefanski for his arm strength and ball security during rookie minicamp and OTAs.
  • Despite opening camp fourth on the depth chart, Sanders emphasizes his strong work ethic and readiness to capitalize when opportunities arise.
  • Analysts have speculated that the Browns may release Sanders before training camp as they trim a surplus at the quarterback position.
  • Final roster spots will be decided during training camp and preseason evaluations as Cleveland seeks long-term stability under center.
