It’s still a small sample size, but the narratives that chased Shedeur Sanders into the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and ultimately to the Cleveland Browns, are looking more ridiculous by the week.
It only took three games for Sanders to dispel all the pre-draft concerns over his abilities, both on the field and in the locker room, to be a potential long-term option at quarterback. The Browns are 1-2 in his three starts, and no fan should be celebrating a narrow loss to the one-win Titans, but Sanders has shown marked improvement each step of the way, with Sunday’s fourth quarter the obvious breakout moment.
