Pat McAfee warns Browns about Shedeur Sanders

Of course, Sanders was far from perfect when he was given a chance to lead the offense. Nevertheless, the team looked much more motivated, and the veterans seemed to rally around him and trust him. They even closed out the season on a two-game winning streak, though those wins might've come with a pinch of salt.

“I like Shedeur’s chances,” McAfee said. “We saw Shedeur, he looked fit. He’s saying he’s from Cleveland, I think he wants the job. I’m pumped to see if the Cleveland Browns can find somebody.”

Sanders had a 3-4 record, throwing for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He only completed 56.6 percent of his passes. That said, he wouldn't be the first rookie quarterback who has struggled early on. 

Even if he doesn't give them a better chance to win than Watson right now, the Browns would probably be better off rolling with him to figure out whether he can be their guy. Worst-case scenario, they'll be right back in the top 10 of the NFL Draft in a class stacked with quarterback prospects.
