Shedeur Sanders wrapped up his rookie season in Cleveland with a mixed bag. He flashed the same big-play ability that made him a standout at Colorado, but the NFL also exposed some things he’ll need to clean up.
The Cleveland Browns drafted him in the fifth round in 2025, and he got thrown into action sooner than anyone expected. Across seven starts, Sanders threw for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
He even landed a Pro Bowl nod after several top quarterbacks passed on the game. But one problem kept showing up. He held the ball way too long, which led to 23 sacks in just eight appearances.
Shedeur Sanders reclaims legendary No. 2
Still, there’s reason to believe things can turn around. Sanders is focused on locking down the starting job by Week 1 in 2026, and he’ll be doing it in his college number.
The Browns quarterback announced he’s switching to jersey No. 2 moving forward. It looks like Sanders is ready to bring back the 2Legendary Brand.
