Robert Griffin III questions Shedeur Sanders' chances with Browns
Summary

Robert Griffin III criticized the Cleveland Browns' treatment of quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the current preseason competition. Griffin argued that Sanders did not receive a fair opportunity after being slated to start against the Buffalo Bills without many veteran players. He claimed it was clear the Browns favored Deshaun Watson from the outset, citing Watson's contract as a factor influencing the decision. Sanders previously completed 6 of 11 passes for 79 yards in a game against the Chicago Bears, and will get further playing time against the Bills under limited starter conditions. This preseason situation raises questions about Cleveland's quarterback depth and decision-making ahead of the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
