Everything seemed set; however, falling so far in the Draft meant a difficult road for the quarterback in the league. <\/strong>He began as the team&#8217;s fourth option and didn&#8217;t become a starter until Week 11, when he made his debut with a win over the <strong>Las Vegas Raiders.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shedeur Sanders wasn&#8217;t seriously considered until <strong>Dillon Gabriel<\/strong> suffered a concussion in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens. <strong>At that point, it became clear that Kevin Stefanski had never planned to give him first-team reps. Gradually, Sanders improved, and in seven starts, he showed explosive plays, but there are still more questions than answers surrounding Deion Sanders&#8217; son.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The Cleveland Browns may not be fully committed to Shedeur Sanders<\/h2>\n<p>Instability at the quarterback position has been a major issue for the <strong>Cleveland Browns,<\/strong> leading to the firing of Kevin Stefanski, who immediately became the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. <strong>Currently, the Browns have Deshaun Watson, who is returning from a double Achilles tendon injury, along with Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, both entering their second year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After seven starts, <strong>some believe Shedeur Sanders will be the Browns&#8217; starting quarterback,<\/strong> but NFL insider Dianna Russini isn&#8217;t convinced: <strong><em>&#8220;Quarterback is going to be the biggest part of this because that&#8217;s the area where they are in risk mode, because they don&#8217;t really have anything set just yet. They&#8217;re probably going to have to go get one. I don&#8217;t believe that this organization is all-in on Shedeur.
