Former Colorado star Shedeur Sanders is enjoying his time at the Pro Bowl and everything that comes with it during the lead-up. On Tuesday, one of Sanders’ several media appearances was an interview with Sirius XM’s Kirk Morrison and Isaac Rochell.
Sanders discussed several things, including his experience at the Pro Bowl, new Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken and his rookie year in the NFL.
“I think overall it [starting during his rookie season] helped me get to myself quicker. I think I am almost there, I think I am almost back to myself fully, emotionally, mentally and physically.”
Clearly, the way the previous Browns coaching staff under Kevin Stefanski handled the fifth-round pick was challenging for Sanders. He did not receive very many reps and seemed to never been given a fair shot during training camp.
Now, under Monken, who advocated for the Baltimore Ravens to draft Sanders, a believer and known quarterback developer, is calling the shots. The Browns seem ready to go into the 2026 season with Sanders as their starting quarterback.
