Shedeur Sanders’ NFL hopes suffer double blow amid Cleveland Browns quarterback battle

Shedeur Sanders' NFL hopes suffer double blow amid Cleveland Browns quarterback battle

Shedeur Sanders’ dreams of making an NFL roster may have just been torpedoed with a pair of Monday messages amid the Cleveland Browns stout quarterback compeтιтion. 

First, on the Browns’ depth chart, Sanders was listed last of the four quarterbacks who were on the roster over the weekend. 

In order, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillion Gabriel were listed ahead of the Colorado alumnus.  

Pickett and Gabriel both have hamstring injuries at the moment, with Sanders not at full health with a shoulder issue, prompting the latter half of the double trouble.

The Browns signed Tyler Huntley on Monday, adding a fifth quarterback to their training camp roster.  

Huntley has years of NFL experience and further complicates the path to a roster spot for Sanders.

With Huntley’s addition, there is no doubt one of the five, at least, will no longer be with the organization in a little over a month.  

Cleveland could take the strategy of having three quarterbacks on its active roster, while keeping the fourth on the practice squad, which has all four men previously thought to be vying for the job with the Browns. 

Now, Huntley, gives Sanders another road block to NFL success, as he spent part of last season in Cleveland. 

Flacco is nearly guaranteed to make the 53-man roster, with the other four quarterbacks now vying for the other two roster spots. Pickett had previously impressed the coaching staff, which may leave Sanders’ chances truly at one in three. 

Sanders already faced an uphill battle heading into training camp being selected behind Gabriel in April’s NFL Draft and having less experience than Flacco and Pickett. 

The incline just increased significantly with the inclusion of Huntley and his standing on the depth chart.
