Overview

• Sanders has continued to impress coaches and teammates with his accuracy, touchdown passes and grasp of the scheme during offseason workouts and mandatory minicamp.
• He currently occupies the unofficial fourth spot on the Browns’ depth chart behind veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and rookie Dillon Gabriel.
• While still a longshot for the Week 1 starting job, Sanders can remain in contention if he delivers standout performances in preseason games.
• The Browns are expected to carry only three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, creating a cutdown battle that could see either Sanders or Gabriel leave the team.
• Media commentators such as Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim have suggested that the Sanders family’s media machine plays a role in inflating the rookie’s public profile.
