Many Cleveland Browns fans believe the quarterback battle will come down to Shedeur Sanders and Joe Flacco. Now, Myles Garrett has shared a key insight into this tough competition.
It has been a busy offseason for the Browns. The team currently has six quarterbacks on the roster following the recent addition of Tyler Huntley earlier this week.
It won’t be easy for head coach Kevin Stefanski to select a starting quarterback. The preseason will play a crucial role in helping him determine who will lead the offense in the 2025 NFL season.

For many scouts, Sanders’ drop was attributed to concerns about his mentality. Reports indicated that pre-draft interviews didn’t go well, leading teams to pass on him in the earlier rounds.
However, that perception may have been off. After several weeks of training with the Browns, both teammates and coaches have been impressed with Sanders — and Myles Garrett is among those supporters.
The star pass rusher, who recently signed a contract extension with Cleveland, was asked about his new teammate. While Garrett didn’t name a favorite in the quarterback battle, his comments suggested that Sanders is gaining real momentum in the competition.

“I mean, he’s funny, he’s optimistic, lighthearted, but he works hard,” Myles Garrett said, via transcript from the team. “He takes it seriously, his craft and he’s watching what the others are doing and doing it his own way, in which only he can. So, looking forward to see him on these preseason games and how he manages the offense. But I think he looks good, but all the guys look good right now.”
