Shedeur Sanders, youngest son of Deion Sanders and newly drafted quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, was visibly not practicing with the first team at the mandatory minicamp. Reporters who were witnesses to the practice session could not help but bring this up with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who had a logical explanation to the matter.
According to head coach Stefanski, Sanders did not practice with the first team because the entire unit is still in the offseason mode and are just starting their training as a unit. As a result, Sanders is not exactly being sidelined and is just in his first days of training with the Browns.
“Like I’ve told you guys, let’s not look too much into who’s out there when. We’re in installation phase, we’re in teaching phase, so not much to look into. We’re so far away from that type of thought process. Honestly, we’re in our installation phase. It’s the offseason, it’s OTA, so we’re going to keep the focus there.” Kevin Stefanski said about Shedeur Sanders in his latest conversation with press reporters.
