Shedeur Sanders has been the center of attraction after guiding the Cleveland Browns to a 24-10 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in his first NFL start in Week 12 on Sunday. On Wednesday, Sanders was questioned what he thought of fans believing Browns coach Kevin Stefanski tried to "sabotage" him.
Sanders seemed to avoid the question, but also tried to dismiss the rumors.
"So you just wanna start trouble, huh?" Sanders said.
Sanders was picked by the Browns with the No.144 pick in this year's NFL draft. He was the second QB the Browns picked after taking Dillon Gabriel with the No. 94 pick.
Sanders started the season as Clevaland's QB3. When the Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, Sanders served as Gabriel's backup.
However, many believed that Stefanski was not giving Sanders chances to prove his worth, despite his strong final year at Colorado.
Sanders received his first start on Sunday because Gabriel did not clear the concussion protocols. He completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and an interception against the Raiders. He was also sacked once for a loss of three yards.
Stefanski said that Sanders will start against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13 on Sunday.
Shedeur Sanders reflects on improving connection with offense
Last week was the first instance Shedeur Sanders had practice with the first team offense. The Browns QB is now aiming to improve his connection with his teammates.
"Day by day, minute by minute, meeting by meeting, of course," Sanders said. "I'm getting a little bit more comfortable and comfortable in being in that role, being in that position. They're getting more comfortable with me, also. So I'm excited, I'm happy for it and I'm just thankful."
It will be interesting to see if Sanders can lead Cleveland to a second straight win on Sunday.
