Shedeur Sanders Remains Confident Despite Limited Reps with Browns

Her dad would probably think so, anyway—Shedeur Sanders, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and now University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, just scored himself a sweet little gig. In 2025, the Cleveland Browns drafted him with the 144th overall pick in the fifth round. Once regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in this draft class. Yet now, he’s sorely challenged as a rookie trying to learn on the fly without first-team reps in offseason workouts and training camp.

Despite his impressive pedigree and high expectations, Sanders has mostly run with the third-team offense in camp. Heard doesn’t have a single snap with the first-team unit under his belt. In that last session of 11-on-11 work, he saw just a few snaps with the second team before leaving. This lack of exposure makes it fair to question his readiness to truly contribute at a higher level.

When pressed on the lack of first-team reps for his players, Sanders was both poised and cool. His reply was, “I don’t think that’s my place to address.” Under stoic and unflappable surface, however, lies a confidence that should not be shaken by what is happening today with his recent national practice efforts.

In his first two training camp practices, Sanders primarily worked with the third team, leaving many observers curious about his development. The wide receiver room may be getting a little crowded. With four quarterbacks in the mix for practice reps, that’s created a few weird circumstances. Today, Sanders is tossing dimes through the equipment staff during position drills!

Despite these setbacks, Sanders remains undeterred. It doesn’t upset me or make me feel bad or excluded because I know who I am as a human being. He issued an impossible-to-miss vote of confidence in himself as he proclaimed, “I know who I am as a person. I know the difference I can make on this team, too.”

Sanders opened up about his three speeding tickets this offseason, so that others can avoid making the same mistakes he did. “I want everyone to take my accident and realize you should never be speeding period,” he said. These comments reflect a welcome maturity on his part given where he is in the process of moving into professional sports.

As he adapts to life in the NFL, Sanders reflected on his journey from an HBCU to a Power 5 program and now to the Browns. We traveled all the way from an HBCU to a Power 5 and now we’re here. I mean so at this point, if you look there’s nothing that’s a big challenge, I would say,” he said.

As the new season nears, every hockey fan and analyst in the league is full of anticipation. Commentator Mike Greenberg has shown a special interest in one person’s first season as rookie with the Cleveland Browns, Shedeur Sanders.
