**Shedeur Sanders Adjusts to Backup Role as Browns Training Camp Begins**
As the Cleveland Browns kick off their training camp, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders finds himself working primarily with the third-string unit. This comes after head coach Kevin Stefanski advised fans not to read too much into Sanders not receiving the first snaps during rookie minicamp.
Despite being a fifth-round pick in the NFL Draft, Sanders remains optimistic about his situation. While veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, along with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, have been taking snaps with the starters, Sanders is focused on making the most of his opportunities.
“I don’t think that’s my place to answer,” Sanders stated during a recent camp session. “I feel like it’s not in my control. So, I’m not going to think about that or even have that in my thought process. There are a lot of people who want to have the opportunity to be at this level, and I’m here. I’m thankful for the opportunity. So, whenever that is, that is.”
Sanders, who previously was projected as a top-five draft pick, is determined to maintain a positive outlook. “It doesn’t really faze me,” he said. “We came all the way from an HBCU to a Power 5, and now we’re here. So, at this point, if you look, there’s nothing that’s a challenge, I would say.”
The Browns are preparing for their first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 8, while Deshaun Watson continues to recover from a twice-torn Achilles. As the competition heats up, all four quarterbacks, including Sanders, are putting in the work to secure their positions.
