Shedeur Sanders has had a very challenging rookie season with the Cleveland Browns. It all started before training camp when head coach Kevin Stefanski placed him at No. 4 on the depth chart, behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel.
Then, during the regular season, Stefanski let go of Flacco and Pickett, but when it came time to choose his starting quarterback, he gave all the confidence to Gabriel, relegating Sanders and even keeping him inactive for some games.
Itās important to remember that in the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur was projected to be a first-round pick but fell all the way to the fifth round after many insiders predicted that the Pittsburgh Steelers would take him with the 21st overall pick.
Is Shedeur Sanders playing for Browns vs Jets?
Shedeur Sanders might play for the Cleveland Browns against the New York Jets, as head coach Kevin Stefanski has officially named him the backup quarterback. This is an important upgrade considering he was inactive due to injury in the last game against the Patriots. Now, heās just one play away from his debut if an injury or coaching decision opens the opportunity.
Who is Brownsā starting quarterback?
Dillon Gabriel is the Brownsā starting quarterback, but this could be his last chance since a loss would leave the team with a 2-7 record. Therefore, if a win doesnāt come, Stefanski and the teamās ownership might finally give Shedeur the chance to show his potential.
