**Shedeur Sanders Joins Cleveland Browns, Set to Wear No. 12**
Shedeur Sanders addressed reporters at the Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp on Saturday, discussing various topics including President Donald Trump’s comments regarding his NFL Draft experience and his competition for the starting quarterback position. The 23-year-old also revealed his jersey number for the upcoming season, confirming he will wear No. 12 after the Browns announced jersey numbers for their rookie class and free agents.
Wide receiver DeAndre Carter will don No. 2 for the team. Sanders previously wore No. 2 during his time at Colorado, leading to speculation that he might attempt to reclaim that number from Carter. However, Sanders humorously noted, “My signing bonus ain’t that high right now.”
Despite a much-discussed slide in the NFL Draft, where he was projected to go as high as No. 2 overall, the Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round. He concluded his college career with an impressive 4,134 passing yards in the 2024 season. Now, he joins a competitive quarterback room in Cleveland that includes Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett.
During minicamp, Gabriel and Sanders shared equal snaps in a 90-minute practice session. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski praised both rookies, highlighting the extensive pre-draft preparation they underwent together. “We’ve spent meeting time with them out of this building. We’ve taken them through walk-throughs, and then they get to go do it in uniform with the helmets on,” he said, emphasizing the transition from classroom to field.
As Sanders embarks on his NFL journey, fans are eager to see how he will perform in the upcoming season.
