Thanks for having us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t the animals or activities that caught fans\u2019 attention. The comments quickly filled with questions about the absence of fifth-round quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was notably missing from the group shots and did not appear to attend the trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s Shedeur?\u201d several fans asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooks like Sanders already claimed his spot with the vets,\u201d one commenter joked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShedeur ain\u2019t get invited?\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n<p>As many pointed out, Sanders was not the only rookie missing. First-round pick Mason Graham was not in the photos and neither was second-round running back Quinshon Judkins.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>All Eyes Remain on Browns QB Shedeur Sanders<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5400837\">\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-2219068258-1-1-e1750898290501.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"Browns Rookie Outing Raises Eyebrows After Key Absence\" width=\"782\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5400837\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5400837\">Getty ImagesThe Browns selected Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sanders is the most high-profile fifth-round pick in recent memory, and his every move is documented. He\u2019s made headlines for the wrong reason in recent weeks, getting pulled over on two separate occasions for speeding tickets.<\/p>\n<p>While his recent speeding tickets aren\u2019t expected to significantly affect his status with the team or in the quarterback competition, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com noted that Sanders could still face some form of internal discipline for the infractions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Browns will address the tickets and possibly deliver some kind of consequences for conduct detrimental to the team, especially considering the second one came during rookie orientation,\u201d\u00a0Cabot said. \u201cBut I doubt his reps or status in the competition will be impacted. He left minicamp as the fourth-team quarterback, and will likely open training camp the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders hasn\u2019t addressed the tickets at length but said he plans to learn from the misstep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve made some wrong choices, personally, I can own up to them,\u201d\u00a0Sanders said in a video that circulated on social media. \u201cI\u2019ve made some not great choices.

However, he faces an uphill battle to win the job out of the gate. But Sanders isn\u2019t in a rush and is focusing on refining the \u201csmall things\u201d in his game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is to be the best teammate and to be as polished as I can be in every aspect,\u201d\u00a0Sanders said during minicamp. \u201cI view things as I got time. I got time to be able to grow and mature and be able to understand the ins and outs of the defenses and be able to get the good insight from the vets in the room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I look at it as a plus. I got time to actually be able to really have a great understanding and whenever it\u2019s time for me to play, then it\u2019s time for me to play. But I\u2019m not looking too far in the future about all that. I\u2019m looking [at] every day in practice. \u2026 I\u2019m focused on the small things and over time the big things will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders and the Browns will gather for training camp in late July, with their first preseason game slated for Aug. 8 against the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns&#8217; rookie class enjoyed a day at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, but fans were quick to notice Shedeur Sanders missing from the fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
