Shedeur Sanders is already making waves in Cleveland.
The former Colorado star and fifth-round pick is drawing praise inside the Browns organization for his attitude, preparation and seemingly rapid development during offseason workouts. According to ESPN’s Kimberley A. Martin, there are people within the building who believe Sanders has what it takes to start for the Browns in Week 1.
“Listen, in that building, there are people who believe that Shedeur can 100 percent be the starter of this football team,” Martin said on ESPN’s “Get Up.” “It’s incumbent upon Shedeur to do the work, which, talking to people in that building, they’ve said he is soaking up everything like a sponge.”
Sanders’ work ethic since being drafted has stood out. During rookie minicamp, he was one of the last players off the field each day, and he’s been taking full advantage of a veteran-rich quarterback room. Sanders has reportedly been active in film sessions and meetings, learning from veteran Joe Flacco.
“The quarterback room is fun,” Sanders said on a recent episode of his “2Legendary” podcast. “Every day is fun going in there. Everything is real good. I’m happy. You’ve got a bunch of different personalities in the quarterback room, and that’s what it is. Just getting to talk to the quarterbacks that took NFL snaps, that played in the league, you’re living the experience through them also and asking them whatever question comes to mind.”
While Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel may offer solid competition, Sanders’ desire to prove doubters wrong might give him the upper hand at becoming a starter.
The Browns’ quarterback room may be crowded, but Shedeur Sanders is quickly proving he belongs.
