Shedeur Sanders Survives Browns’ Final Roster Cuts
Shedeur Sanders just cemented his spot on Cleveland’s 53-man squad after surviving the final cut last week. The fifth-round draft pick surpassed expectations during training camp, even after initial concern of arm soreness. Overall, his standing is a considerable victory for him since his slide into the draft’s fifth round was dramatic as most considered him a first-round pick early on.

Sanders is competing with third-round pick Dillon Gabriel in what has turned into one of the most closely watched quarterback rooms in the league. Sanders’ collegiate statistics at Colorado consisted of multiple school records with over 14,000 passing yards and 134 touchdowns.
The quarterback’s emergence has also received a lot of attention during his transition to the professional level.
