It has certainly been an eventful offseason for Cleveland Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders.
The son of NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, considered by many as the No. 2 draft pick for a while, slid down to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft and has been taking third- and fourth-team reps in practice.
Despite a solid preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night (14-of-23 passing, 138 yards, two TDs) in a 30-10 victory, Sanders was humbled again on Monday as he was seen taking reps with the third-team offense.
NFL analyst and former NFL player Dan Orlovsky liked what he saw from the rookie QB and believes he should start getting reps with the first and second teams.
“He proved to me that he’s absolutely demanding of more reps with the second and first teams. … I’ve been very adamant that Cleveland should start one of these rookies. I really believe that,” Orlovsky said during a Monday appearance on ESPN’s “First Take.” “And what we saw from Shedeur coming off of the reports in the summer, everything out of camp has been, ‘Shedeur had a good day, Shedeur’s been really good, Shedeur was the best quarterback in camp.'”
