Shedeur Sanders gains high praise from a Cleveland Browns legend, raising speculation about his future role in the team's offense. NFL Wires delivers the full scoop.
A Vote of Confidence from a Browns Legend
Shedeur Sanders, the dynamic young quarterback and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is generating buzz in Cleveland after receiving praise from a Browns legend. As minicamp evaluations unfold and preseason discussions heat up, Sanders is increasingly being viewed as a serious contender for the team’s future starting role.
In a recent radio interview, former Browns QB Bernie Kosar said, “The kid has the poise, arm, and football IQ we need. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s running the show sooner than expected.”
This unexpected endorsement is reigniting speculation that Sanders’ role in Cleveland could evolve sooner than anticipated.
Sanders' Path to Cleveland
Though Shedeur Sanders was undrafted in 2025, his signing with the Browns was seen as a low-risk, high-upside acquisition. He had an electric college career at Colorado, where he showcased his dual-threat abilities under his father’s guidance.
Since arriving at Browns camp, coaches and analysts have noted his:
Quick release and accuracy
Strong pocket presence
Leadership qualities beyond his years
Quarterback coach Alex Van Pelt noted, “He absorbs the playbook like a sponge. He’s definitely on our radar for long-term development.”
What This Means for the QB Room
The Browns are not short on quarterback options. With veterans like Deshaun Watson and promising backups already in the fold, Sanders isn't expected to start immediately. However, that doesn't mean he won’t see action:
He could be positioned as the No. 2 QB by midseason
Valuable snaps may come during preseason and blowout games
Injuries or poor performance from starters could create an opening
This mirrors what happened with Brock Purdy in San Francisco—a QB who went from backup to breakout star.
Fan and Media Reaction
Social media has lit up with reactions to Kosar’s statement. Hashtags like #ShedeurToStart and #NextQB1 are trending among Browns fans.
