  "account": "Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is in a fierce battle for the starting position, with Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel as his primary competitors. Despite many anticipating Watson to secure the spot upon his return from an Achilles injury, Sanders maintains a confident stance. During a recent training camp, when questioned about the quarterback competition, Sanders replied, \"Yeah, I have. Me vs myself.\" The 24-year-old seems unconcerned about the competition, believing that his A-game in practice will secure his spot. Although Sanders showcased potential with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his seven starts last season, he also made numerous mistakes that need improvement before he can be a guaranteed starter in the NFL.",
  "summary": "Shedeur Sanders is fighting for the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback position in training camp. The Browns selected Sanders with the 144th pick in last year’s NFL Draft after many expected him to be selected in the first round.",
