Shedeur Sanders: I'm confident I can be the starter, but it's not in my hands

Our Summary

Shedeur Sanders had a seven-game stint to establish himself as the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback, but his future with the team remains uncertain following the firing of head coach Kevin Stefanski. Deshaun Watson is still on the roster, and General Manager Andrew Berry has indicated the team will evaluate the quarterback market in the offseason. Berry acknowledged that Sanders showed potential but still needs development, emphasizing the critical nature of the quarterback position.

Sanders expressed a focus on personal improvement amidst the coaching change, noting that the assessment of his readiness for the starting role is not solely up to him. During his rookie season, Sanders led the Browns to a 3-4 record, completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards, with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
