Adam Schefter reveals chances of Shedeur Sanders making Browns roster

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL journey began with mid-level expectations, but he has given the Cleveland Browns something to consider as they finalize their roster.

The fifth-rounder from Colorado entered camp battling uphill against veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, along with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. However, the Browns made their intentions clear by naming Flacco the starter with backups to be decided.

Sanders has shown flashes of his playmaking ability in the preseason. His debut against the Carolina Panthers was out standing, throwing for 138 yards and two touchdowns. The 'Grown' QBs command of the huddle and ability to extend plays under pressure was noticeable. By comparison, Gabriel’s outing against the Philadelphia Eagles was decent, but two turnovers were a problem.

The challenge for Sanders has always been about more than a single game. Cleveland’s quarterback room is crowded and could stay that way going into the season. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported eariler this week, the Browns will likely carry a four-QB rotation. If true, Sanders may secure a roster spot without forcing the team to cut ties with either Pickett or Gabriel.
