Shedeur Sanders tried to impress Joe Flacco, his teammate and rival for the starting quarterback position with the Cleveland Browns, but it didn’t ended up well.
The former Colorado Buffaloes superstar is getting his first taste of preseason work before his rookie year, one that promises to be an historic one.
The youngest son of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders has a lot to prove to all the 32 NFL teams that passed on him – some even multiple times – before getting picked by the Ohio team. If he beats out the competition for the QB position, he will be on his first step to a special career.
Shedeur Sanders is keeping Joe Flacco young
The Cleveland Browns‘ offseason training is on its way, with the AFC North team hoping to improve their record significantly, after ending 3-14 last season, which put them on last place of their conference and with one of the worst records in the league.
Meanwhile, players are getting to know each other on the field, and Shedeur Sanders is learning from the veterans, especially from veteran Joe Flacco, who has played 17 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Baltimore Ravens, where he won his only Super Bowl.
A video posted by the Browns showed Shedeur asking Joe about hitting a dance move, and after the rookie showed him his moves, Flacco immediately answered “definitely not. I don’t know if I’ve ever hit a public dance move in my life.” The interaction goes to show Cleveland fans that their quarterbacks are getting along just fine.
The quarterback competition is getting serious
The Cleveland Browns continued their approach of running a two spot during certain periods, which are two sets of drills happening simultaneously to get reps for all four quarterbacks in their roster, as the team’s search for his starting QB continues.
The Browns utilized this approach in 7-on-7, 11-on-11 and modified 7-on-7 periods, with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett working on one field, and Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders on the other. In an early portion of practice, the offense broke into two groups.
One group worked with the quarterbacks and receivers on a scramble drill, while the other group ran through an offensive-only drill with the offensive line. Pickett and Flacco started the period on the scramble drills, while Gabriel and Sanders worked in the offensive drills, before the quarterbacks switched groups. The fight continues for the three QB spots on the 53-man final roster and the starting position.
