Cleveland Browns: Shedeur Sanders Has Lofty Goals as Training Camp Approaches<\/p>\n

The quarterback competition between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will be closely watched once NFL training camps begin.<\/p>\n

Sanders plans to win the battle and says that’s only the beginning.<\/p>\n

“I’m not content just being on no team,” Sanders said on his You Tube Channel<\/a>, via Pro Football Talk<\/a>. “I’m trying to be one of the greatest. You’ve got to be thankful, but know there’s still more.”<\/p>\n

Sanders and Watson are trying to silence naysayers. After a productive college career at Jackson State and Colorado, Sanders unexpectedly plummeted to the fifth round of the 2025 draft.<\/p>\n

He was inconsistent after claiming the Browns’ starting job late last season, completing 57% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions while being sacked 23 times. He finished his rookie season with a 3-4 record as a starter.<\/p>\n

Watson was once of the NFL’s top quarterbacks with the Houston Texans, leading the league in passing yards in 2020. However, Watson’s career has nosedived since his 11-game suspension in 2022<\/a> for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. He has played just 19 games in four seasons with Cleveland, completing just over 61% of his passes for 3,365 yards with 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He tore his right Achilles tendon in Oct. 2024 and re-tore it the following January, causing him to miss the entire 2025 season.<\/p>\n

The Browns finished 5-12 last season, but Sanders said he never stopped competing. Cleveland won its last two games, including a 13-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Gaining confidence as the season progressed, Sanders hopes to build off that momentum.<\/p>\n

“We were playing the Steelers. Their linebackers were hitting that game,” Sanders said. “I’m on the pine the whole year. You get out there you’re like, ‘This is something. I could do something like this.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cleveland Browns: Shedeur Sanders Has Lofty Goals as Training Camp Approaches The quarterback competition between Shedeur Sanders and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[9434,86,85,54,2337,783,7,781,786,20472,6,17],"class_list":["post-939323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cleveland-browns","tag-around-the-afc-north","tag-browns","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-clevelandbrowns","tag-clifton-brown","tag-football","tag-general","tag-homepage-centerpiece","tag-inline-news","tag-nfl","tag-shedeur-sanders"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116880145370909058","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
