This weekend, second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be getting the start for the Cleveland Browns. After a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie, Sanders has been the primary backup this season. This will be his opportunity to make an impression on coaches.
It was not long ago that Sanders was regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. Unfortunately, an unforeseen draft-day tumble made him a 5th-round pick for the Browns. On Sunday, Sanders will have a chance to show one of the teams that passed on him made a mistake.
