Sanders Shines in Browns Camp Opener
30 Jul
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders showed strong performance on day one of camp.
- Rookie wide receivers Concepcion and Boston caught passes from Sanders.
- Coach Monken emphasizes player performance will decide the starting QB.
Shedeur Sanders made a strong impression on the opening day of Cleveland Browns training camp, demonstrating his potential with a notable deep completion to rookie KC Concepcion. While Sanders began with the second-team offense, he connected effectively with Concepcion and fellow rookie Denzel Boston.
In contrast, Deshaun Watson's initial practice session with the starting offense was marked by several miscues and interceptions. Official statistics from the day indicated Sanders completed 16 of 19 passes without an interception, while Watson finished 12 of 22 with two picks. The coaching staff plans to alternate Watson and Sanders with the first-team offense throughout training camp.
Head coach Todd Monken reiterated that the starting quarterback decision rests solely on player performance during camp and preseason. He emphasized that no preconceived notions about past performance would influence the choice, and the players themselves would ultimately determine who earns the starting role for the season opener. The Browns will begin their preseason on August 15 against the Chicago Bears.
