Shedeur Sanders has been turning heads at Cleveland Browns training camp with his accuracy and poise.
The rookie quarterback has worked efficiently with the second and third units, completing passes at a high rate while demonstrating the command that made him a coveted prospect.
His performance has sparked debates about whether he should be viewed as a developmental player or someone capable of contributing immediately.
Not everyone is convinced about Sanders’ future in Cleveland.
During a recent segment on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, analyst Rob Parker shared his skeptical take on the quarterback’s prospects.
“I’m skeptical. I think he’ll be either on the practice squad or cut, to be honest. That’s really my feeling, because the actions of the Browns don’t feel like, ‘Wow, we got lucky. We grabbed somebody who has talent,'” Parker said.
Parker pointed to Sanders’ lack of first-team repetitions and the circumstances that brought him to Cleveland.
The analyst drew comparisons to other quarterback situations, questioning why Brady-connected teams like Las Vegas didn’t pursue Sanders if the former Patriots legend truly believed in his potential.
Parker argued that Cleveland’s approach doesn’t suggest they view Sanders as a future cornerstone.
The late selection and limited investment indicate the Browns see him more as a camp body than a legitimate competitor.
However, the Browns maintain that repetition distribution remains fluid throughout camp.
Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave has praised Sanders’ huddle presence and learning ability.
His accuracy has been notable, with several impressive throws during team periods.
Sanders faces an uphill battle to make the final roster. His camp performance will need to be exceptional to change minds within the organization and prove Parker wrong about his NFL future.
