Within the chaotic season of Cleaveland Browns, Head Coach Kevin Stefanski announced that Shedeur Sanders would start for the rest of the season. 

The rookie QB has now talked about getting the opportunity of a lifetime to become a franchise quarterback for the Browns.

Sanders respectfully stated that he was more focused on Cleveland’s next game against the Bears. “That’s a long deep thought. That’s not in my focus. My focus right now is the team we’re playing ahead. The Chicago Bears.”

Sanders also confessed that he was very thankful for the opportunity to show what he was capable of. The young QB further added that he wasn’t concerned about his future, but rather about leading the team in the future, and staying in the present. “So, anything past that I’m not really focused on. Honestly, I’m thankful for it, but I’m not content with my situation, with everything, and with leading this team.”

Sanders displayed signs of immense potential in his very first start in a 24-10 win against the Raiders in Week 12.

He threw for 209 passing yards and scored a couple of touchdowns, while getting intercepted and sacked once. All eyes will be on him when he clashes against Caleb Williams and the Bears in Chicago.

Shedeur Sanders Backs The Offense

The Browns suffered another humiliating loss against the Titans last week. Despite the loss, Shedeur Sanders was all praise for the offensive unit. 

Sanders assured that the offense took an important step forward against the Titans. He talked about how the connection between him and the wide receiver clicked. “We had that leap of faith this past week. Knowing that the receivers are going to be in the right places. Looking everybody in the eyes and saying: ‘I’m going to be there. I got you,” he said. 

In a close 31-29 loss against Tennessee, the 23-year-old threw for 364 passing yards and scored 3 touchdowns. Not only that, but he also had a rushing score for 29 yards. Wide receivers Harold Fannin Jr. and Jerry Jeudy also provided him with great support, scoring a touchdown for him. Looking at his confidence while him still in the early stages, the Browns will look forward to building a capable roster around him.
