The Cleveland Browns are giving Shedeur Sanders particular therapy in coaching camp, but it surely’s not the kind of favoritism the fifth-round choose would essentially need.
Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN, Sanders is the solely Browns quarterback who has not been taking reps with the first-team offense throughout OTAs or the primary two practices of coaching camp.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round choose Kenny Pickett, veteran Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel have all cut up reps with the primary staff.
Regardless of being requested to throw passes to members of the tools employees amid a scarcity {of professional} pass-catchers for a four-quarterback roster, Sanders stated he is grateful for the chance to point out the Browns teaching employees his abilities.
“I really feel like that it isn’t in my management, so I am not going to consider that and even have that in my thought technique of why it’s,” Sanders stated to a query as to why he isn’t getting first-team reps. “There’s lots of people who wish to have the chance to be at this stage, and I am right here and I am grateful to have the chance. So, every time that’s, that’s.”
Sanders, 23, believes that he can contribute extra to the Browns than what the teaching employees is asking of him.
“It does not make me really feel down or unnoticed as a result of I do know who I’m as an individual,” Sanders stated. “I do know who I’m as a person and I do know what I may deliver to this staff. So, I can by no means really feel lower than any circumstance.”
The Browns chosen Sanders with the No. 144 choose in April’s draft. As a participant whom many draft analysts thought was a first-round expertise, Cleveland took what may very well be the steal of the draft within the fifth spherical.
It is curious why the Browns aren’t giving Sanders a shot with the primary staff early in coaching camp earlier than the quarterback race turns into extra critical. Cleveland ought to completely see what Sanders has to supply this summer season.
Flacco, 40, is not a long-term answer on the place. Pickett failed in Pittsburgh. The Browns have to gauge what rookies Gabriel and Sanders can do with the primary staff.
Having Sanders throw balls to the tools employees is a waste of everybody’s time.
However then once more, Cleveland has wasted loads of quarterbacks.
