Browns' Shedeur Sanders benefits from Sorsby's eligibility ruling
Summary

Shedeur Sanders received favorable news regarding his competition for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback position. A Texas court granted Brendan Sorsby eligibility to play college football in the 2026 season, removing him from the NFL Supplemental Draft. This development means Sanders will face less competition as he battles Deshaun Watson for the starting role in the upcoming season. The ruling allows Sanders to focus solely on winning the job without the threat of Sorsby joining the Browns.
