Browns Coach Reveals Shedeur Sanders' Reaction to Losing Starting Job
Browns head coach Todd Monken revealed how Shedeur Sanders reacted after Deshaun Watson was named the team's starting quarterback.
After months of uncertainty, the Cleveland Browns officially named Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season on Monday. The decision came after a fierce battle between Watson and rookie Shedeur Sanders, who had spent time in the first two preseason games. Head coach Todd Monken revealed that Sanders' response to being named the backup was particularly impressive.
"He was awesome," Monken said, highlighting Sanders' understanding of the long-term vision for the team and his commitment to the organization's goals. Monken spent considerable time with Sanders, discussing their perspectives and aspirations. While Watson's experience and the team's investment in him were significant factors, Monken also stressed that Sanders' future with the Browns remains open.
Despite Watson's impressive recovery from injuries and the team's faith in his abilities, there is still room for Sanders to potentially take over at any point during the season.
