<\/p>\n

This offseason, Shedeur Sanders has been making waves with the Cleveland Browns<\/strong>. He stepped into a crowded quarterback room and is vying for the starting role in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong>. Drafted to bring fresh energy, Sanders is up against veteran Joe Flacco<\/strong>, who is entering his 18th NFL season; Kenny Pickett<\/strong>, who has two years as a starter and a Super Bowl season under his belt; and rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was selected 50 picks before Sanders.<\/p>\n

Disappointing Reflex Drill From Sanders<\/h2>\n

A recent training session took an unexpected turn when the Browns put Sanders through a reflex drill<\/strong>, and the results weren’t pretty. In a now-widely shared video, the rookie quarterback faced a simple test: catch falling sticks before they hit the ground. What should have been a showcase of quick hands turned into a cringe-worthy moment<\/strong>. Sanders flailed<\/strong>, missing nearly every stick as they dropped around him.<\/p>\n

Laughter echoed off-camera, and fans flooded social media<\/strong> with a mix of jokes-some calling him “slow-motion Sanders”<\/em><\/strong>-and shrugs, saying it’s not a big deal. Compared to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel<\/strong>, who handled the drill with ease, Sanders came up short, leaving many wondering if this could hint at Stefanski’s eventual call on the starting gig. It’s a rough look for a player trying to prove himself but at the end is just an activation for the Browns’ social media team<\/strong>, nothing more than that.<\/p>\n

The Browns are looking to stabilize the quarterback position<\/strong>, which has been a revolving door since 1999 with 40 different starters<\/strong>, including Deshaun Watson<\/strong>, who seems won’t be returning in 2025. Sanders has shown promise<\/strong>, but with training camp<\/strong> approaching (July 18 for rookies and July 22 for veterans), every one of his moves is under scrutiny as Coach Kevin Stefanski<\/strong> considers his options for the August 8 preseason opener against the Panthers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
