Shedeur Sanders discusses public perception as Browns quarterback
Summary

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders addressed how he is misjudged by the public. Sanders, who has been overshadowed by Deshaun Watson amid the team’s 3-1 start, expressed a desire for people to see him as a person rather than a stereotype. He reflected on his experiences during the pre-draft process and acknowledged the impact of social media on perceptions of him. While Sanders has appeared in two games this season, he remains in a competitive position with teammates Watson and Dillon Gabriel. The Browns are reported to have a stable quarterback roster ahead of the NFL trade deadline next month.
