Shedeur Sanders is surrounded by talent
The four are battling it out for a shot at the starting job. But with this level of talent in the room, Shedeur Sanders—like the others—knows nothing is guaranteed.
Two styles of leadership
The Browns’ QB room is loaded with experience and perspective, giving Shedeur Sanders plenty of mentorship material to absorb. But, interestingly, he’s encountered two very different leadership styles.

On one side is Watson, who actively supports and mentors younger players like Shedeur Sanders. On the other is Joe Flacco, who has made it clear he won’t play the mentor role unless explicitly asked.
“I try to be honest, and like I’ve said before—I’m not a mentor. I play football,” Flacco stated bluntly. “There’s a lot of learning that happens naturally in a quarterback room. I’ve got a ton of experience, I can talk about things, and hopefully they’ll listen. But it’s not my job to make sure they do.”
Shared goal
Whether Shedeur Sanders learns from Watson’s hands-on guidance or absorbs lessons from Flacco’s show-don’t-tell approach, the competition is already shaping up to be a learning lab for the rookies.
Of course, the real test will come when the games begin and the Browns take the field. Until then, every quarterback—including Shedeur Sanders—is grinding for that coveted starting spot. We’ll soon see if Sanders can show the league what he’s really made of.
