NFL Insider Drops Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders Update in Browns QB Battle
A top NFL insider just gave a revealing update on the Browns' QB battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.
The Cleveland Browns got their first opportunity to observe both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in an NFL game over the weekend. Watson performed impressively, completing 10 of 16 passes for 126 yards and contributing to both scoring drives, including a 50-yard field goal and a 14-yard rushing touchdown. In contrast, Sanders struggled, finishing 6 of 11 for 79 yards, without any touchdowns, and with one interception.
Although Sanders is slated to commence the Browns' preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday in Cleveland, ESPN NFL insider Daniel Graziano thinks Watson may have already secured the quarterback position. Todd Monken, the new head coach, had previously stated his intention to grant both players an equal chance to win the starting job.
Watson began the initial preseason game last weekend in Chicago, while Sanders will start in the upcoming home game against Buffalo. Following that, Graziano anticipates Monken will announce his choice for Week 1. Currently, based on the information gathered thus far, it appears that Watson is leading the competition for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback position.
While Sanders might perform well on Saturday and alter the dynamics, at present, it seems Watson holds the advantage in this rivalry.
