Shedeur Sanders, the rookie quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, is no stranger to the spotlight.
Shedeur is making the headlines after boldly stating that he’s “capable of doing better” than some current NFL quarterbacks. While the comment raised a few eyebrows, it also sparked an exciting conversation about the future of the league.
After a competitive race for the Browns’ QB1 job, Sanders and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel lost out on the starting job to Joe Flacco. While waiting on the bench, Sanders, who has yet to play a regular-season snap, said Thursday he could do better than some other NFL starters.
“If you see the quarterback play in the league right now, I know I’m capable of doing better than that,” Sanders said, via ESPN Cleveland.
Sanders, who had a solid preseason debut but struggled during the rest of the preseason, has been listed as the team’s QB3 on its depth chart throughout the season, behind Gabriel. But Sanders said he’ll be ready to take the field whenever his moment comes.
“I don’t think playing [or] not playing is in my hands,” Sanders said, via ESPN Cleveland. “Based on the situation … I’ll be out there and I’ll be ready to play. I’m ready to play right now.”
Whether or not he’s right about outperforming NFL talent, one thing is clear: Shedeur Sanders believes in himself. And with a future that promises success, he may soon get the chance to prove it.
