Shedeur Sanders Stumbles as Browns Unveil QB Plan

Shedeur Sanders had a rough outing at Cleveland Browns training camp on Wednesday, coinciding with the team’s announcement of its penciled-in plan to name a starting quarterback.

Sanders continued to work with the backup units during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, just as he did during OTAs and minicamp. But unlike previous practices, there was no viral stat line lighting up social media.

The rookie completed just 3 of 8 passes in team drills, and several reporters in attendance noted that he held onto the ball too long, a concern that followed him from Colorado into the NFL Draft process.

However, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com emphasized that a fair evaluation of Sanders will come when he gets opportunities with first-team personnel.

“It will be easier to evaluate Sanders when he earns some reps with some first- and second-teamers,” Cabot said. “He was fourth on the depth chart at the start of camp, like he was at the end of minicamp, but can seize the moment with his trademark accuracy.”
