Shedeur Sanders might not have made it in the first round of the NFL draft, but he’s certainly gained a lot of trust from many. Sanders had one of the most dramatic entrances in the NFL, and he continues to find a way to be in the headlines.
Sanders is already showing great effort with the Cleveland Browns. He’s done well in their mandatory mini camp and is set to have a strong year ahead. Everything seems to be going in the right direction for Sanders, especially since he has one of the best QBs behind him. Sanders is guided by the Browns’ superstar DeShaun Watson.
Cleveland acquired Watson back in 2022, and now he’s been a mentor to Shedeur Sanders. Getting coached by one of the top QBs in the league is certainly going to help the rookie in his first year. While Watson is out due to his Achilles surgery, he’s still contributing to the team in some way or another.

Watson is expected to play sometime in November or December. Until then, he’s giving Sanders some of the best tips to take on the big league. Browns fans will expect more from Sanders now, especially after the recent report on Watson training him.

Recently, a rival scout revealed that Sanders’ attitude was not pleasing, especially during the draft process.
“Shedeur Sanders is a very polarizing guy. We didn’t like his attitude and how he handled the draft process. He wasn’t prepared. He mailed it in at every step. He didn’t take it seriously enough.”
“If he figures out that he doesn’t have it all figured out and applies himself, I can still see him having success. He’s got a lot of tools. He’s just not a great athlete, and he has to cut out some bad habits as far as taking sacks, staring down reads, and patting the football excessively,”the scout said.
