Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Calls Out Media for Creating 'Extra' Drama

Shedeur Sanders called out the media for doing "extra" with their reporting as the Browns quarterback competition continues.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders recently criticized the media for overreacting and creating unnecessary drama surrounding his competition for the starting quarterback position. During Wednesday's practice, when asked about veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson receiving first-team reps, Sanders stated that they were all informed of the situation and that there was no miscommunication.

He expressed his disappointment when the media jumps on the coach, suggesting it only adds extra drama that they hope they are not contributing to. Sanders emphasized the importance of focusing on the team's goal of winning and building a strong franchise, rather than engaging in media-driven distractions. He highlighted the need for the team to maintain focus and unity, and not let external factors, such as media coverage, affect their performance on the field.

Sanders also acknowledged being shielded from such media pressure within the team's "cocoon," allowing them to stay focused on their collective objectives.
