The dichotomy that is Shedeur Sanders' development as a rookie quarterback and the heightened expectations for him with the Cleveland Browns was again evident Wednesday.
Sanders had the best throw of the day during organized team activities when he zipped a pinpoint pass to tight end Caden Davis in the back of the end zone during a 7-on-7 red-zone drill. Whether or not Davis got both feet in before going out of bounds was up for debate on social media.
However, Sanders was the only one of Cleveland's four quarterbacks not to take a snap with the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills. He did take second-team snaps, but slipped and fell on the first play.
Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees lauded Sanders for his work ethic amid what some still see as a steep learning curve for the fifth-round pick.
"He's really put in a lot of work as all those guys are, but you could tell on the mental side of the game and learning the system and calling it and having that rhythm to it, he's put a lot of work and time and effort into that. And then when you do that, the game starts to slow down and you can focus on finding completions. And he's done a nice job of that as camp's progressed," Rees said.
