Analyst gets real about Deion Sanders Jr.'s brother Shedeur's chances of winning the Browns QB1 role
Entering the Browns roster as the 144th pick, Deion Sanders Jr.'s brother Shedeur Sanders will have to fend off several competitors, such as veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel and also Deshaun Watson when he recovers.
While Shedeur did well in college football, the NFL is a whole new level. That's why Dan Labbe suggested that, despite the Colorado standout having a great rookie minicamp, his preseason performance when the heat turns on will eventually decide whether he's the right man for the starting quarterback role.
“My concerns with Shedeur are things that are not going to show up in 7-on-7 and even in team drills against a bunch of tryout guys and rookies ... my concerns with Shedeur probably aren’t going to be answered until we get to see him play real football,” Labbe said on the “Orange and Brown Talk podcast.”
Whether Shedeur Sanders manages to impress coach Kevin Stefanksi or not, he can rest assured that his brother Deion Sanders Jr. will support him always.
