'I'm very bright.' Shedeur Sanders on his evolution and Browns QB1 battle | Exclusive

Berea, Ohio – Shedeur Sanders, the 24-year-old all-pro quarterback, shared his thoughts on the Browns' quarterback battle and his evolution as a player. The brainchild behind a "QB Cam" camera, which purportedly aids in analyzing plays, is merely a tool Sanders trusts his own eyes and instincts over, stating, “My eyes work better than any camera out there.”

The quarterback, who inked a $17.7 million rookie contract with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), boasts numerous endorsement deals, including those with Nike, AT&T, and Gatorade. This brand-building prowess, reminiscent of his football-playing father, Deion Sanders, presents a double-edged sword. While it contributes significantly to his financial success, it can be seen as a distraction from the game itself.

As the Browns prepare for their season opener against the Buffalo Bills, Sanders faces stiff competition from Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback position. The coach, Todd Monken, has implemented a unique arrangement where the two quarterbacks alternate days on the field during practice. Sanders emphasized his gratitude for the opportunity and his focus on continuous improvement, acknowledging Monken's system and his role in the offensive unit.

Monken also aims to reduce process time, allowing quarterbacks to think and act faster during games. Ultimately, Sanders is a believer in his vision and instincts, having gained crucial insights during his seven NFL starts, which helped him prepare for his role as the Browns' QB1.
