The Browns' decision to make a relatively quick quarterback change, swapping in rookie third-round pick Dillon Gabriel for veteran Joe Flacco, once again put the spotlight on the team's other rookie gunslinger: Shedeur Sanders.
The fifth-round pick has endured a whirlwind of a year, going from projected first-rounder and Heisman vote recipient playing under his father at Colorado to an NFL draft slide to the third day. He's brought some of the negative attention on himself—his questionable decision this week to mime answers to the media after Gabriel's promotion was evidently a response to criticism from Rex Ryan, and not a reflection of his feelings for his teammate—but it has far exceeded anything that he has earned since he got to Cleveland.
