This has gotten some fans to question why he has been held back, while others are already predicting that he will be the new starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
“Hostage video. In don’t trust Cleveland,” one fan claimed.
“QB1 is back!,” said another fan.
“He’s right. I pitched in high school. Pitch count never bothered me but innings count and throwing multiple days would bother my arm no matter how many pitches I threw,” another commenter pointed out.
“Whaaaat, the Brown’s put a 5th round pick at the podium to talk about his arm soreness. #free⌚️ #Influence,” added another fan.
While there were those cheering and confident that he will do well for the Browns, there were also plenty of critics who were slamming Shedeur Sanders as the browns training camp continued in Akron.
“I’m still not buying it but let him rock. Not saying anything else. Let the chips fall how they do,” one doubter noted.
“The crazy sanders cult won’t even believe their own guy that’s how mentally crazy they are,” said another critic.
Shedeur Sanders is in a tight four-way race for the QB1 spot against fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel and veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. So far, Sanders has been impressing many, though many still see Pickett as the favorite to get that starting spot, at least in the start of the season.
Shedeur Sanders Had Been Dealing With Arm Soreness Since College
As for the arm soreness that Shedeur Sanders has been suffering from, the former Colorado quarterback revealed that he had been suffering from them since he was back in Boulder.
“In college, it was often,” he told reporters. “It was just adjusting to starting and stopping, honestly. That’s all it truly is. Sometimes you’re going hot, then you’ll wait for a second, then you’ll get cold, then get back hot, then get cold. My arm and body wasn’t used to that. So it’s just an adjustment within the body, within my arm.”
He was not able to participate in team drills during Aug. 2 as he complained that he had some soreness in his throwing arm. He sat out the rest of practice after that.
