There are currently six quarterbacks on the Cleveland Browns roster.
Taking centerstage Friday night was arguably the most high-profile of the bunch, rookie Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders, a 2025 fifth-round pick, seized the moment, his confidence building throughout the Browns’ 30-10 win against the Carolina Panthers as he threw for a pair of touchdowns, completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and scrambled for 19 more.
“I’ma be honest, I wasn’t nervous or have too much adrenaline, it was just getting comfortable,” Sanders said after that game. “That’s all it is. There’s plenty games before where I was nervous, but I felt like I knew the answers to the test. So, when you feel unprepared, then you don’t feel ready for the moment. I know I’m ready for the moment. Did I play up to par? No, I don’t feel like I did. But overall, the main goal was to win and that’s honestly what we did.”
Of the half-dozen Browns QBs, only Sanders and the recently acquired Tyler Huntley were in line to play Friday. Third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel and Kenny Pickett are currently nursing hamstring injuries, Joe Flacco — the favorite to be the starter — sat and Deshaun Watson is on the physically unable to perform list with a torn Achilles tendon.
