Shedeur Sanders wasted no time making an impression at the Cleveland Browns’ rookie minicamp.
The quarterback immediately connected with teammates and carried himself with unmistakable confidence on the sidelines.
Sanders showcased precision passing throughout the session, delivering deep balls with touch and firing accurate passes to running backs in the flats.
The former Colorado and Jackson State standout earned substantial repetitions during his first official team practice.
“Shedeur Sanders was one of the LAST players to leave the Browns’ rookie minicamp today. Shedeur is always willing to put in extra hours. This speaks volumes about his character. A mindset that can’t be taught,” Dov Kleiman shared.

Securing a roster spot with the Cleveland Browns will require more than raw talent from Sanders.
He must maintain his confidence while consistently hitting receivers in stride, limiting turnovers, and demonstrating advanced defensive recognition during upcoming minicamps, organized team activities, and summer training sessions.
His unexpected slide during the 2025 NFL Draft created national buzz, putting his early Cleveland appearances under intense scrutiny.
Some analysts have even suggested Sanders could challenge for the starting position if his development continues and he avoids injury through camp.
With draft day now behind him, Sanders focuses fully on earning a place on the final 53-man roster.
The Cleveland quarterback situation remains crowded and competitive.
Both rookies, Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, have generated early hype while competing for repetitions and organizational attention.
The competition carries significant implications as Cleveland continues searching for stability at the position.
