Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been saying nearly all of the right things since joining the organization in the 2025 NFL Draft. His latest show of class was directed at the quarterbacks he’s competing with.
In an interview with Kay Adams, Sanders refused to identify any one trait that makes him better than anyone else. He instead heaped praise on all of them – Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson and rookie Dillon Gabriel – and made it clear that everyone is “cool in the room.” Sanders said that it feels like people are trying to divide the room, but they’re unified.

“Everybody’s cool in the room,” Sanders said. “Outside the room, people try to pit us against each other, but, inside the room, we know we’re one.”
Users on social media were pleasantly surprised by how humble the former Colorado star acted towards his fellow quarterbacks. Some are hoping he proves the doubters wrong, though many also mocked him for not acting this way earlier in the process.
“Who knew it was possible to be extremely confident in yourself while also being humble towards others? Shocking!” one user remarked.
“I hope he proves a lot of people wrong. People make mistakes – especially young people. He’s obviously a good kid and comes from a good home,” wrote another.

“When’s the last time a 5th rdr has gotten this much press? Anyone advising this kid to just stay out of the limelight, decline media requests & earn it on the field? All this press (kinda) makes me want to see him fail. #Browns have a circus on their hands w this. #DawgPound,” a third wrote.

“He’s too humble for my liking. Contrarian opinion, but he should feel confident that he can prevail in the quarterback room. No one in that room has a definite future at the moment. He just can’t show it on camera as of yet.”
“Way to go, nephew! We are so proud of you! You are standing strong amid so many personal attacks and smear campaigns. You are showing folks how to SOAR amid adversity and how to embody faith-filled peace. Blessings to you! Praying for you!”
