A ‘pretty balanced’ Browns QB race, and the next audition belongs to Shedeur Sanders
Cleveland Browns quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are engaged in a "pretty balanced" competition for the starting position heading into the upcoming season on September 13 in Jacksonville. Coach Todd Monken indicated that giving Sanders the same opportunity to start would be unfair, though the team's lineup may change.
In a recent matchup against the Chicago Bears, Watson played six series, leading the Browns to a field goal and touchdown on the second and third drives. He completed 8 of 9 passes for 102 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry. However, he struggled in the final two minutes with only 24 yards on three passes.
Shedeur Sanders, who started the final seven games last season, appeared in three possessions, going 6 of 11 for 79 yards with an interception. He had a 39.6 passer rating and a notable pick-six. Monken praised Sanders' improvement in the pocket and his ability to work through progressions.
