Shedeur Sanders Discusses If He Should Start Again for Browns
The Browns will start Deshaun Watson next weekend, but here's what Sanders had to say about the possibility of him starting.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders took to the field in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, filling in as the starter after veteran Deshaun Watson was sidelined with a concussion. Sanders had a respectable outing, connecting on 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns. The team managed a 23-22 victory in overtime, thanks to a late touchdown by tight end Harold Fannin Jr., but failed to convert the ensuing two-point attempt.
Despite his solid performance, Sanders was not granted the starting role for the Browns' next game against the Houston Texans, with Watson slated to take over once again. In his post-game press conference, Sanders deftly dodged a question about whether his play warranted the starting position, stating that he is focused on being a valuable teammate in whatever role he is assigned.
Sanders, a second-year player, acknowledges that there is much for him to learn about the demands of being a starting quarterback in the NFL, but he remains optimistic about his development and growth within the team.
