Widely projected as a first-round pick, Shedeur Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-draft\/\" target=\"_self\">2025 NFL Draft<\/a> before landing with the Cleveland Browns. The rookie began the season as the fourth quarterback on the depth chart but quickly climbed up the ranks.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns traded veteran Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders just before the season, putting Sanders behind only Joe Flacco and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/06\/23\/dillon-gabriel-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel<\/a> on the depth chart. After sending an ineffective Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, Sanders became Gabriel&#8217;s primary backup.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell if Shedeur Sanders can be Cleveland&#8217;s long-awaited answer under center, but he won&#8217;t need to be Tom Brady to overtake Dillon Gabriel on the depth chart. The third-round pick has struggled during his time on the field. Prior to Sunday&#8217;s game against the Ravens, Gabriel completed just 58.6% of his passes for 869 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions while going 1-4. He was having a decent day prior to his injury, completing seven of his 10 attempts for 68 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions while taking one sack for seven yards.<\/p>\n<p>As of this posting, the Cleveland Browns lead their division rivals, 16-10. Superstar edge rusher Myles Garrett has recorded four sacks, bringing his season total up to 12.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Scott Galvin &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders took the field for the first time in his professional career and the fans went nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":254974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,8,6431],"tags":[7809,32477],"class_list":["post-254971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-browns","category-nfl-teams","tag-cleveland-browns-news","tag-shedeur-sanders"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254971"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254975,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254971\/revisions\/254975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
