Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Stumbles in Browns' Preseason Camp
25 Jul
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders, Browns' 5th-round rookie QB, played only 4 snaps in team drills
- Sanders did not record a touchdown or interception in practice
- Browns GM Andrew Berry reluctant to cut draft picks, creating QB competition
As the Cleveland Browns' preseason camp gets underway, the team's rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has found himself at the center of growing controversy. On Thursday, Sanders, the Browns' 5th-round draft pick, played only 4 snaps during team drills and failed to record a touchdown or interception, drawing a disappointing response from the fanbase.
The Browns' quarterback situation remains uncertain, with Sanders competing against Dillon Gabriel and veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. While Pickett was the only player to throw an interception during 7-on-7 drills, CBS analyst Jonathan Jones has suggested that the Browns are unlikely to cut either Sanders or Gabriel, given the team's history of holding onto its draft picks.
However, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo struck a more worried tone, noting that the Browns may need to find a way to keep all four quarterbacks on the roster or risk losing one to waivers. As the team prepares for their first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 8th, the spotlight will be firmly on Shedeur Sanders and the rest of the Browns' quarterback room as they fight for roster spots.
