The Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback competition has taken an interesting turn as Shedeur Sanders continues making his case for the starting position.
While most players head home after mandatory minicamp sessions, Sanders has established a different routine that speaks volumes about his professional approach.
The former Colorado standout has made staying after practice a consistent habit, putting in additional work long after teammates have departed.
“Shedeur stays late again. Shedeur shows nothing but hard work and hunger to improve,” Browns insider Nick Karns shared the update.

His dedication became particularly evident during this week’s minicamp sessions, where his commitment to improvement has caught the attention of those watching closely.
Sanders’ extra efforts appear to be translating into on-field success during organized team activities and minicamp.
According to ESPN Cleveland’s quarterback tracker, the rookie completed 41 of 53 passes while throwing nine touchdowns against just one interception.
Those numbers suggest he may be emerging as the frontrunner in what many expected to be a wide-open competition.
The statistics tell only part of the story. Sanders has demonstrated a comprehensive approach to preparation that extends beyond simply refining his throwing mechanics or studying defensive concepts.
His focus encompasses every aspect of development, from weight room sessions to playbook mastery.
The rookie quarterback has made clear that satisfaction isn’t part of his vocabulary.
Each practice session represents another opportunity to enhance his skill set, whether through improved footwork, better decision-making, or stronger command of the offense.
This mentality appears to be exactly what the Browns hoped to find in their quarterback room as they prepare for the upcoming season.
