Shedeur Sanders lifts the lid on brutal quarterback battle in Cleveland… as four big names fight for starting spot

Shedeur Sanders lifts the lid on brutal quarterback battle in Cleveland... as four big names fight for starting spot

New Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has revealed ‘everybody is cool’ in the team’s quarterback room and there’s no drama between those hoping to be the team’s signal caller. 

Sanders came to the Browns with much drama as he fell from one of the top projected players in last month’s NFL Draft to a fifth-round selection. 

The Browns even drafted another quarterback ahead of Sanders in former Oregon star Dillon Gabriel. 

Alongside veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, Sanders will prove how he is worthy of playing time. 

Incumbent starter Deshaun Watson is expected to miss all of the 2025 season with an Achilles injury. 

‘Everybody is cool in the room,’ Sanders told Kay Adams in a recent interview. ‘Outside of the room, people try to pit us against each other, but inside the room, we know we one.’

There is more than three months until the start of the NFL season, as its nearly guaranteed at least one of the quartet will not make the 53-man regular season roster, with a spot on the practice squad likely to be used. 

Per Cleveland.com, Sanders will not enter training camp as the No 1 guy for the Browns. 

‘It’s a tough call before we’ve even seen the first practice of organized team activities, but I know Kenny Pickett heads in as the frontrunner to win the starting job at the outset,’ longtime beat writer Mary Kay Cabot wrote earlier this month. 

‘He’ll take the initial first-team reps in OTAs and probably the mandatory minicamp, and it seems like it’s his job to try to keep for now.’

At the first sign of turbulence for the Browns this season, another starting quarterback will be called upon, with Cleveland likely to avoid putting Gabriel or Sanders in the spotlight until they’re ready.
