Sanders in QB competition after 3-4 rookie season; starter to be named by Week 1.
Sanders is competing for the Week 1 starter role at quarterback alongside Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel; he went 3-4 in 2025 as a rookie. Team owner Jimmy Haslam indicated the Browns will determine their starter by the first game, noting it is 'way, way, way early to be talking about who's going to be our quarterback next year.'
First-team reps signal potential starter role if Watson struggles early.
Took first-team reps at Thursday's practice as Cleveland's quarterback competition keeps shifting. JJ Zachariason speculates that while Watson was initially favored, the Browns have seen his arm is done and are shifting their internal lean toward Sanders. Zachariason still thinks Watson most likely starts the year but the leash will be very short, perhaps two or three games, before it becomes Sanders' team.
Solak: Sanders lacks elite size, arm talent, and mobility; needs one throw perfected.
According to Ben Solak of ESPN, Shedeur Sanders lacks 'elite size to shrug off contact,' lacks 'special arm talent,' and is a 'below-average mover for the position,' meaning he needs to perfect one specific throw to succeed in the NFL. On Day 2 of Browns training camp, Sanders took all first-team reps after working with the second team on Wednesday, indicating he is in active competition for the starting quarterback job.

Young QB competing for starting role received first-team offense reps on Day 2 of Browns training camp, alongside LT Spencer Fano, while veteran Deshaun Watson moved to the No. 2 team.

Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson for the Browns starting quarterback job under new coach Todd Monken, who is in no hurry to decide. The source characterizes both options as 'equally poor choices,' suggesting uncertainty about which QB will emerge as the starter.
Sanders' scramble comfort and willingness to let receivers play could unlock upside with vertical throw development.
Sanders shows positive traits that could help him succeed: he is comfortable in the scramble drill and is often willing to 'give his receivers a shot,' which could help him make plays out of structure. Adding a quick-release vertical talent to the good traits Sanders showed last year could unlock the young quarterback's future.
Solak: Sanders lacks elite size, arm talent, and mobility; needs quick-release vertical throw to succeed.
According to Ben Solak of ESPN, Sanders lacks 'elite size to shrug off contact,' lacks 'special arm talent,' and is a 'below-average mover for the position.' To succeed at the NFL level, Sanders needs to perfect one specific throw: the quick-release vertical ball against one-on-one coverage, as it will be hard for him to create explosive plays otherwise. The type of throw needed is similar to the deep throws Russell Wilson often threw down the sidelines, described as 'moon balls,' which require great timing and placement rather than a big arm.
