Herm Edwards Turns Heads With Prediction About Shedeur Sanders

The Cleveland Browns have wrapped up their OTAs and mandatory minicamp with the quarterback competition taking center stage.

Veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are battling rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel for the starting position, but the newcomers have generated significant buzz throughout the early stages.

ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Herm Edwards recently appeared on 92.3 The Fan’s ‘Afternoon Drive’ to discuss the Browns’ offseason developments and delivered a surprising prediction about the fifth-round rookie.

“I think when the preseason starts, he’s (Shedeur Sanders) going to find a way to beat those guys out,” Edwards said.

Sanders has approached the competition with a mature mindset, refusing to get caught up in practice rep counts.

Instead of dwelling on limited opportunities, he treats every moment as a chance to improve.

His perspective centers on maximizing whatever chances come his way rather than making excuses about the circumstances.

The starting quarterback position remains wide open as the season approaches, giving every contender a legitimate opportunity.

Sanders faces several challenges in his bid to separate himself from the pack. Some factors fall within his control while others depend on external circumstances.

To emerge as the frontrunner, Sanders must demonstrate complete mastery of the playbook and terminology.

The preseason will provide crucial opportunities to showcase his abilities when meaningful reps become available.

His preparation and execution during these moments could determine whether Cleveland decides to prioritize immediate success or invest in developing their potential quarterback of the future.

The Browns face an intriguing decision as they evaluate their options heading into training camp.
