Shedeur Sanders kicked off his rookie season with the Cleveland Browns by donning his new No. 12 jersey, leaving behind his familiar No. 2 from college. Lebron James celebrated the moment on social media, signaling his support for the young quarterback who has a lot to prove after being drafted in the fifth round despite a stellar college career. Sanders faces stiff competition for the starting QB position against Dillon Gabriel and seasoned veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. As training camp proceeds, head coach Kevin Stefanski clarifies that initial snap assignments shouldn’t be interpreted as depth chart decisions.

While Sanders has garnered attention for his unique talent, overcoming the odds will require him to excel in practices and games alike. His path to the starting role is far from guaranteed, making every practice crucial in his bid to earn a spot as the Browns' franchise quarterback.
