Shedeur Sanders had to hear 143 names called before his over the weekend at the NFL draft. The former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback entered the event being the main story and exits the event being the main story. Months of speculation led up to something that no one publicly predicted, and now it's time to spin things forward by projecting where he will fit into the Cleveland Browns quarterback pecking order.
With Deshaun Watson unable to get out onto the field, Sanders will be competing with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and the recently drafted Dillon Gabriel for reps. Flacco is 40, Pickett has been unable to hold a starting job and Gabriel will face the same learning curve Sanders must negotiate. ESPN’s Mike Greenberg studied the state of play and offered a prediction that may be the best news Sanders's camp has heard in several days.
