Shedeur Sanders showed some encouraging signs in his first preseason game for the Cleveland Browns. He looked composed, accurate, and capable of handling an NFL offense.
But he's still levels away from securing Cleveland's starting quarterback job, let alone becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. There's no denying that Sanders still has plenty of growing to do before he can fully take the reins of Kevin Stefanski's offense.
Sanders may have just found the mentor who can help him get there. After the Browns' joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles, the rookie had a long conversation with Jalen Hurts about what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
